[ale] No Sound from FC4 - Clue Needed

[tfreeman at intel.digichem.net]

 Background - My girlfriend's RH9 machine (not on a network) got seriously 
 wacky, not getting through the boot sequence before rebooting, and then 
 not booting at all. Rather than "waste" time with proper trouble shooting, 
 I elected to replace.
 
 Problem: I'm not able to get FC4 fresh install to access the sound card 
 hardware. The hardware works, because Knoppix 3.9 finds the sound card and 
 works. Under fedora, I'm not able to play the cd drive (audio cd) nor get 
 the sound config gui to successfully configure the sound card.
 
 The motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-8IPE1000 series, 865PE Motherboard (this 
 from the manual) with a P-42.4 GHz processor and 256MB ram.  Sound is 
 supposedly an integrated Realtech ALC655 AC '97 CODEC chip.
 
 Clues and/or actuall solutions happily accepted with thanks.
