Correct, my mobo doesn't have nforce audio. It has the more basic 
Realtek chips. I discovered that I actually do get sound, but only on 
the front 2 channels, not the surround channels. In Windows, the audio 
output ports can be configured so that the microphone port becomes the 
rear (or surround) port. I need to do this in Fedora as well, since I 
have speakers connected to both front and rear outputs.

Any ideas?

thanks,
