Yes. You need to 'modprobe pcspkr' and you need to 'yum update' to pick
up a libgnome update that fixes sound.
I made pcspkr load by adding it to my alsa driver line in
/etc/modprobe.conf e.g. for my snd-ali5451 driver:
install snd-ali5451 /sbin/modprobe pcspkr && /sbin/modprobe
--ignore-install snd-ali5451 && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null
