i810 chipsets are horrid chipsets.. I've had no end of problems trying
to get ANY os using those things. I had an i810 in a compaq desk pro en
at work and I had to compile CVS releases (to get fixes now in 1.0.7 and
up) of alsa just to get the sound to correctly pipe out the external
speaker jack instead of the internal Speaker..  

If you want to get sound on the i810 w/ WBEL/CentOS you will need to
download, compile, and install Alsa from alsa-project.org the latest
release should work perfectly with i810 on that laptop.
