If you are using FC6 or FC7 and have problems with sound your problem may be due to the developers removing support for legacy ISA sound cards. The driver for the card will no longer be automatically loaded. I discovered this after filing this bug report, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=234021 . If ALSA still supports your card all is not lost. The fix is to manually tell the kernel to load the driver. In my case I edited /etc/rc.local and appended the following two lines: modprobe -r snd-sbawe modprobe snd-sbawe Change snd-sbawe to whatever is appropriate for your system.
