no sound on gateway laptop

[Robert P. J. Day]

  i just finished installing f8-t1 on a gateway laptop, during which
the sound test at the end of the install worked fine.  now, though,
after the system is up and running, i have no sound whatever.

  curiously, i have no volume control icon on the panel, and no volume
control entry in the drop-down menus.  running "soundcard detection"
gives me:

  Vendor:  Intel Corporation
  Model:   82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller
  Module:  snd-hda-intel

  Device settings
   PCM Device   STAC92xx Analog

but running the sound test gives me nothing.

  running "gnome-volume-control" manually displays only two settings:
Playback, Master and PCM.

  i'm open to suggestions. thanks.
