The first thing to check is if you have ipw3945d running. Two
commands to run as root:

chkconfig --list ipw3945d
service ipw3945d status

[root at toshiba init.d]# chkconfig ipw3945d --list
ipw3945d        0:off   1:off   2:off   3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off

[root at toshiba init.d]# service ipw3945d status
ipw3945d (pid 2179) is running...

Setting up the snd-hda-intel sound can be frustrating, because there
are many configurations for it. If the "signature" for your
configuration is not one of the known ones, you can end up with
limited or no functionality. There is also a problem with the 1.0.14
cr1 ALSA package on some systems. My Toshiba laptop did not work
with rc1, but works with rc3. If running "aplay -l" produces an
error message instead of a list of hardware, then that is the problem.

You may also need something like this in /etc/modprobe.conf:

options snd-card-0 index=0 model=auto
options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=auto
