I would suggest that you ask in a Windows forum but that will just get 
the comment that Fedora is bad and Windows is good so you should 
remove Fedora. :)

I don't do Windows but is it possible that Fedora leaves your card in 
a muted state?  On my laptop, I have to turn on a flag to get sound 
using the mixer.  Without knowing your sound card, it is hard to tell.

Try uninstalling the sound card and let Windows install it again.
