Motherboard sound card hassles - Fedora - ASUS P4S533-VM motherboard

[Paul DiRezze]

I finally got some speakers for my clone but am unable to get sounds coming 
from the motherboard's sound card.

Steps taken so far:
* I've tested the speakers on my other computer and they work fine.
* I've made sure the speaker is plugged into the correct line-out jack on 
the motherboard
* I've opened up the box and ensured that the motherboard jumpers are set 
correctly to direct the sound to the stereo Line out jack.
* I've ensured that the cable from the CD ROM is connected to the correct 
plug on the motherboard
* I log in as root and from Gnome I click Start / System Settings / 
Soundcard Detection
a screen comes up entitled "Audio Devices". It's contents follows:

The following audio device was detected
Vendor: Silicon Integrated Systems
Model: Sound Controller
Module: i810_audio

A button on the dialogue asks me if I want to play a test sound. I press 
the button but no sound comes out.

I'm not sure if the auto-detection failed.  I know I have a 
SiS962L  southbridge controller. I know that I also have a multi-I/O 
controller and a sound controller chip on the motherboard, but the manual 
doesn't seem mention the actual chip name and model #.

Where do I go from here?

Thanks in advance.
