I am using FC3 and kernel 2.6.12-1.1376 and an Intel i82801 sound chip and
I can't get sound working. Everything looks like it is working, but no

xmms gives notice:
Please check that your soundcard is configured properly
You have the correct output plugin.
No other program is blocking the sound card.
and then shows the xmms window with a very active audio band display.
How does one configure a sound card?
play <song.wav> gives
sox: can't open output file '/dev/dsp': device or resource busy
This can't hardly be true. This was the first thing I did after boot.
I've looked at alsamixer, aumixer and amixer to be sure none is muted.
Since sound played before I updated from the 2.6.9 kernel, and it still
works with knoppix, I'm sure the hardware is OK.
kudzu and /etc/sysconfig/hwconf indicate that the hardware has been
recognized and a driver (snd-intel8x0) assigned.
We no longer have sndconfig, although I don't know that it would help here.
Any suggestions would be appreciated,

I have that problem with every kernel upgrade :-(
1.) Boot into the previous kernel ( the one with the sound card working).
2.) Su to root.
3.) Copy /etc/modprobe.conf to another directory/floppy disc.
4.) Reboot with the new kernel.
5.) Su to root & copy the modprobe.conf copy you made over the top of
/etc/modprobe.conf.
6.) Reboot once again using the new kernel & you should be good to go :-)
