The Intel HDA audio supports many different configurations. Some of
these are know and set automaticly by the driver. Others require
that you add an option in modprobe.conf. If you still have a copy of
your FC-6 modprobe.conf file, compare it to the F-7 version - there
may be options listed in FC-6 that are not in F-7. You may also want
to do a Google search for the ALSA on your laptop to see what
options others have used to get all the devices shown in the mixer.

You should look in /var/log/messages and see what it messages are
generated when the sound modules are loaded.

Here is what I have in modprobe.conf for my Toshiba - you can try it
and see if it helps...

alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-card-0 index=0 model=auto
options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=auto

You can also try replacing the option like with:
options snd-hda-intel index=0 single_cmd=1 model=ref

There are a bunch more model options, but I do not have the
reference for them handy right now.
