Can you do an lspci -n | grep 1102:0006
If you get an output, then you have one of the Dell variety of Sound Blasters. These are not the same as you buy elsewhere, and I do not believe that they have an Open Source driver.
See http://www.alsa-project.org/black.html and http://opensource.creative.com/soundcard.html for details.
Hope this helps,
James.

There's a driver for the Dell SB Live at Alsa's site. They're up to v1.8, and the driver was included in 1.6a. Unfortunately, FC3 is at v1.6.
I can't help you install. Maybe someone else here can.
Good luck!
