Hey.
Really appreciate this bit of help !
system-config-soundcard gives this output :
prompt > system-config-soundcard
ALSA lib control.c:817:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL default

cat: /proc/asound/version: No such file or directory
cat: /proc/asound/modules: No such file or directory

The log produced is below (which is probably much more useful !).

Good question.
I wish I could tell you !
Well presumably you discovered that it existed from somewhere. It
doesn't exist here.
How is one 'supposed' to start sound ??
Sound starts itself if discovered and configured by FC5. You don't
need to install any special Alsa things.
What happens when you run
system-config-soundcard
