sound problem

[Otto de Voogd (CompList)]

I had a similar problem, my sound didn't work with the speakers but it did
with the headphones (on an Inspiron 9300 running FC4 and Gnome).

Solution: in the alsa mixer active external amplifier and tick the box that
appears in the "switches" tab.

I guess this may work for you too.
