Sound not working

I have a Compaq nc6220 laptop.  Went through all the steps for alsa in the wiki, but can't get any sound.  Unmuted with alsamix and kmix, no luck.  Pretty new so please write your advice like I'm an idiot.

[reed@myhost ~]$ lspci | grep Audio

Re: Sound not working

1) Is your user part of the audio group?
2) Another possibility No Sound with Onboard Intel

Re: Sound not working

User is part of the audio group and I tried blacklisting snd_intel8x0m as suggested.  No luck.
