Well, from the look of it, it appears as if you already have your sound 
drivers loaded... did you try to check if the sound channels were 
mutted?? did you try to use the alsamixer program?? It is worth noting 
that by default the alsa drivers are muted, so you will have to unmute 
them after they are installed... I've had this prblem too with FC3 when 
I installed it first (well since FC2, actually) until (from previous 
experiences with alsa) I ran alsamixer to find out the volumes were 
mutted... I use the source distribution of the latest official alsa 
release (1.0.8). Try this, before we set on trying to figure it out more 
deeply.
