Hi,
     I have had no sound at all since FC2T3 drove me insane,tried every 
thing including replacing the tar.bz2 in kdemultimedia.src.rpm with a 
clean KDE.org and reinstalling (didn't work).
What did work was this,FC2 Alsa does not have 'alsaconf'from the 
alsa-utils package,so I got alsa-utils from Alsa cvs compiled and 
installed (didn't delete FC2 alsa-utils)and now I have sound.
But a small problem was on a log out when sound failed after log in
so I added this to modprobe.conf

# --- Keep modules from being autocleaned
options -k snd-card-0
