I just bought a new (refurbished) Everexe StepNote laptop with a VIA C7-M CPU and a VIA chipset, installed CentOS 5.4 on it and the audio is not working.

I would only consider the question stupid if I had already answered it, which I did not - thanks.
I've made a point, over the years, to try to think of "stupid" questions, when I need to step back, and look at the bigger picture, and see if there's an alternate branch of the fault tree that we've missed.
