Hi;

I would make two suggestions then I will drop unnecessary comments.

1) Make sure that the "PCM" slider in alsamixer or one of its gui's
(Advance volume, Gmixer etc.) is 100% open.

2) Ubuntu users seem to be having the same kind of problems.  Google for
your problem but use Ubuntu as a key word.  Check to see if your problem
exists with them.  If it does, it is probably an upstream broken driver
and needs a Bug report or additional comment on an existing bug.

I have removed PulseAudio as well.  I have spent a couple of weeks
(months?) on this and have not yet solved it.  I have learned that
PulsAudio is unlikely the culprit.  By removing PulseAudio, posting on
the Alsa mailing list and reading all the Fedora ALSA bug reports (and
there are a lot of them) I have become convinced that the solution lies
somewhere between a Sound_Driver => ALSA.  Once ALSA is working,
PulseAudio will work.
