You will want to search the message archives of this list.  ALSA 1.0.3, 
as shipped with FC2, lacks the drivers for Creative SoundBlaster Audigy 
and its close cousins.

I had the very same problem as you describe with my SounBlaster.

I had to d/l alsa 1.0.5 (esp the lib!) and recompile and install.  Sound 
is fine after that.
