OK I now have sound!! I looked on various other forums and the eventual fix was :
open a terminal
sudo kwrite /etc/modules
when the document opens, add snd-sbawe to it
save it, close it and reboot
When I did this the mixer was available in KDE and I just had to adjust the levels.

Unfortunately, you probably won't get a response from the last post, which is over 9 months old.
What model is it that you have? Is it a P10-S429?
This guide may help.
Often, the sound is muted and needs to be set unchecked for mute.

CentOS is based on RedHat Enterpise Linux, hence the link that I gave you is a direct one from the CentOS home page.
Did you try the solution noted on the linked page? Especially look and see if the sound settings are muted, or the sound is not turned up all the way for each channel.
The modem will most likely be a challenge. It is a "win-modem" designed to work with Windowes and it will need some special work to get it going. If you like all the technical jargon, take a look at this users experience.
