I don't know if FC3 requires the nVidia driver for
sound to work. I installed the nVidia driver from nVidia and all
worked well FC1 with alsa. As stated by others, check the volume
settings with the alsa mixer.
I have to turn mine up after any reboot.

Dump it and get a seperate (off-board) sound card! I just put an old Monstersound 3d in my FC2, and it is amazing, I've never had such good sound, even Return to Castle Wolfenstein now works!
Woohoo!
Now if I could just get winex to run :(
Why? My sound card works great with anything I have tried. 5 channel sound that is better than my home stereo (old stereo that it). I have no issues at all. I cannot think of a single application that doesn't work. Once I installed the nVidia drivers all was well. The nVidia drivers were for the network ports as well.
I update my FC1 to ALSA and love it.
I am waiting for FC4 before I do an upgrade. I just haven't had time to move to FC2 or FC3.
