I thought this was fixed in FC2 final, but...

After setting the volume correctly for your system open a root shell and
run:

# alsactl store

That should cause your volume to be unmuted (and at the current levels)
on reboot if your modprobe.conf is not hosed. Look in there for lines
like these (of course your module may differ):

alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-intel8x0 &&
/usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; };
/sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0
