Sorry, but it is a driver problem. The current 
( 2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i686.PAE in my case ) kernel ships the 1.0.18a Alsa 
driver (confirm this with "cat /proc/asound/version") Significant work 
was done on hda_intel between 18a and 19. The current version is 
1.0.20. Download the source from http://www.alsa-project.org compile 
and install. You'll need the development rpms, of course, but otherwise 
there should be no problems. (Works for me TM)
