HP Probook 6540b problem with fan speed and sound card

Hi.
Sorry for my English.
I have installed Arch 32bit on probook 6540b (it has core i5 processor).  Cpufrequtils works well - with governor set on ondemand frequency is adjusting correctly but  fun is running max speed all the time. I have tried to configure lm_sensors but it doesn`t detect any sensors.  Also fun folder in acpi is empty.  It would be great if You could help me.
Thanks for any advice.
...ergh
Fan sometimes works slow so maybe its overheating problem.
But
I have another problem with sound on this laptop. I have  IDT 92HD75B3X5 sound chip and snd-hda-intel module loaded for it but it doesn`t make any sound. In Amarok it looks like something is playing because progress bar is moving. I have tried everything from arch wiki and other sources but nothing works. Maybe You can help?
Thanks

Welcome to the forums zennon. Did you make sure that the channels are unmuted in alsamixer?

Hi. Yes. I also tried all tricks with model etc. and nothing. Now I have installed oss and have some progress. I have sound on pcm2 when I run osstest, no sound on pcm1 (but it looks in test like it plays something) and input/output errors from pcm3 to pcm7. I have oss output in multimedia in kde and when I run test I can see moving strips or something (I dont know the word for it ) in ossxmix but I hear nothing. I I tried all configurations in ossxmix and nothing.

It works!!!!!!!!!!!! Speaker channel was muted  (f**k) but it had to be unmuted in kmixer because in alsamixer it doesn`t made any difference (why, God, why?).  I gonna dye someday because of this kind of shit (or because of my stupidity ). Thanks!
