Edit this file /opt/hotplug/blacklist

add this line to the end of the above file: snd_intel8x0m

Now make sure you have the newest kernel installed. Which you should 
have if you ran up2date or a yum update.

reboot your machine. sound should work once the system is back online. 
You will want to run alsamixer to check the sound levels.

I have done this on 2 machines that both have the intel sound cards and 
it solved the issues on both.
