Welcome to LQ!

I would start a new thread about your problem, it will help you get more answers.

Did you try to create such a file?

sound is working
 

i didnt created that file
but i created modprobe.conf in /etc/modprobe.d
and wrote one line
"options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m6 "
and restart
now its working

Are you using alsa..? If so why not try alsaconf in the terminal.

Works well for Dell Studio 15 (Fedora 11)
 

Thanks prasad.nitc
Your solution of creating the /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf
and adding the line "options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m6" into it helped solved the sound problem in Dell Studio 15 laptop, running Fedora 11.
With linux kernal 2.6.30
I also had to change the Device for output to "Internal Audio" in the Sound Preferences window in Fedore 11 (Gnome)
I am posting the details here, to help if someone else exits with the same problem.
Thanking you,
