Dell Vostro 1510 - sound only gives clicks on the speakers

[Gary Stainburn]

Hi folks,

Still slowly working through setting up my Dell Vostro 1510 with Fedora 10.

Firstly, thanks to everyone who helped get the WIFI working - stop on now.

Next I'm working on getting the sound working.  I've got two problems.

1) I don't actually get any sound out. All I get is clicking on the speakers.

system-config-sound doesn't appear to exist any more, and I don't really know 
where to look next.  It looks like Linux actually things that everything is 
working as I cannot find and errors anywhere.

Can anyone please tell me where in KDE I can a control audio hardware and see 
what Linux things it is using, and then how I can fix it.

Here's what lspci says about the audio device.

2) I can't get MP3's to work.   In all previous Fedora installs I've used xmms 
to play my music, using the xmms-mp3 rpm. This doesn't appear to be available 
for FC10.  I'm not too bothered about xmms, but would love to be able to play 
MP3's again.  Can anyone tell me how best to achieve this.

Ta.

Gary
