1- Did you unmute the sound?
the sound is muted at install time.
go to your kmixer, and be sure the volume levels are ok and unmuted.
2- Do the mixer SEE a intel card as the first sound card?
(on top right corner of kmixer)
3- do the module snd_intel8x0 is loaded ?
(lsmod | grep snd )
(it should be automatically loaded at boot time)
4- did you configure the sound card in kde ?
(in kde-system-settings / sound )
these steps should assure you to detect what was the problem,
and solve it. Just make sure to answer YES to the 4 questions.
