Charles, you also should check your sound volume control settings.  FC2 
default settings on sound at boot are for volume set to zero.  On the 
popup menu to Sound and video --> volume control and check your 
settings.  Push the volume sliders to the top.  You may have to 
re-adjust the volume settings everytime you reboot the system.
