That looks like sound card issue. I suggest that you post the output of the following:
lspci | grep sound
and
lsmod
Also check the speaker icon (top right if you are using Gnome) to verify that the sound isn't muted; you should also right-click and select Open Volume Control to verify that you are using the correct sound card if you have more than one.
By the way, Anaconda (the installer) runs a sound test as one of its last steps. Did you get any sound or not?
hi jay , have attached the outputs of the commands that u asked for, please help me out
also while installing i did not get any sound.
checked the right click option in the volume control , it shows 2 devices one is the alsa mixer and the other one is the OSS mixer. i use alsa mixer.

That's not very good knows, it seems it can't even detect your sound card. If that is correct, there is nothing you can do. Do you know by heart which sound card you have?
Ouch, the ATI SB. I remember assisting others with the same issue and I'm afraid that we never found a way to get it to work. Yes, you're right, there is some information on the net but little or none of it actually helps.
i was finally able to get sound in my laptop with fedora 7
i updated the kernel to 2.6.22 and it worked.
i read in one of the ubuntu forums that the kernel 2.6.21 has an issue with the sound.
just updated the kernel and it worked.
but stil i have one issue , not able to hear sound in headphones and the sound is vey low when compared to vista which i had installed in the same laptop.
