Dell 1420 Sound Drivers, Fedora 8

I'm having trouble finding sound drivers that will work for Fedora 8 on a Dell 1420 Laptop. Anyone have any insight on this?

I have installed alsa drivers, and configured it using the alsa-mixer....still no sound however...

Welcome to LQ!

We do not know what's inside of your Dell unless you tell us. Use aplay -l command to determine the sound ship.
I'm sure Fedora comes with kernel drivers for sound, so installing additional standalone drivers does no good.
Use alsaconf to configure your sound, alsamixer to unmute.
