CentOS - Jul 2008 - CentOS 5.2 vs. Intel 82801 AC'97 Audio

I have installed 5.2 on my work desktop and everything works perfectly
EXCEPT the sound device.  Here is the relevant lspci line:

00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM
(ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 01)

I tried looking in Google (might have been a bad search), but all I
could find was to add acpi=on to my boot line in grub.conf, and that
didn't do any good.  The volume control shows muted and I can't enable
it.

What am I missing?

Thanks.

Probably only the very recent postings on this exact subject. But no
solution has been discovered yet.

See the thread starting here.

Maybe another pair of eyes will spot something we couldn't yet see.

After the first post, the messages do *slowly* get smaller, but be
prepared.
