Still waiting for an audio fix

Has anyone found a fix yet for the lack of audio problem several folks 
have mentioned?

One fix talked about removing a modem reference from hardware, but I 
don't have a modem reference there.

When I tested 9.10 before installing, it never struck me that the system 
I tested on wasn't connected to my speakers ... my fault for being stupid.

In the meantime, I've installed 9.10, thinking it was OK, on an two IBM 
Thinkcenters, an HP, a custom-built box, and a Dell.  There is no audio 
on any of them.

I'm pretty much a newbi; I don't have any idea of where to start digging 
around the system for possible fixes.  I was kind of hoping that one of 
the updates might fix the problem.

Other than this, and I think an xorg.conf problem on the dell (I think 
the driver for the monitor has some sort of problem -- I can't get any 
resolution greater than 800X600), the rest of the install has been 
trouble free.  If I hadn't read about the problems others had I would 
never have suspected.  I started with 8.04 and upgraded every time a new 
version came out, and this was by far the easiest install.  

If anyone has a clue on the audio, I'd appreciate hearing about it.

tnx
