As the subject line suggests, I can't get audio to work on my laptop. I'm getting some error messages from the various applications. Here are the details of the system:

I've tried booting the system up in knoppix, but that doesn't work. Originally I installed
Red Hat 9, but audio didn't work there. Finally, I''ve upgraded up to Fedore Core2 and
installed nvidia, xine, and dvd players. Video works perfectly, but there's no sound.
Can anyone help?
Some articles suggest installing the Intel i810 drivers, but the Sis7012 sound chip is
being detected. I suspect it might be something to do with PCM. Any suggestions?
