FC3 Still Hates Me: No Sound

[Cyber Source]

Take a look in your /etc/modprobe.conf file. I take everything out of 
there related to sound (make a backup first) and then run 
/usr/sbin/alsaconf and let it write to the file. I then (for oss stuff) 
put "modprobe snd-pcm-oss" in your /etc/rc.local file (without the quotes)
