Exact same problem here on the same hardware (Precision 380). On FC4 it worked with OSS, but ALSA always gave me errors. With the latest FC4 updates and now with FC5, no more errors with either OSS or ALSA, but no sound either... silence. I've tried updating to alsa-lib and alsa-utils 1.0.11 final, but same problem. Not sure if this is a kernel module problem or a userland library problem, though, so please reassign to alsa-lib if required.
Same problem appears on a recently purchased Dell Inspiron 9400 Laptop. It is also using the Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio hardware, and I get no sound. My system details appear to be the same as described above.
