The point is that the soundcard detection tool does not detect a
soundcard which it did in FC5, FC4, etc. etc and so forth.
I have an Audigy 2 card. Initial install of FC6 seemed to find it during
the sound card detection. I could hear the sample sound and answered
the dialog correctly. Subsequent boots show NO sound card.
Oddly enough this is on a dual boot machine w/ Windows XP Pro on the
other partition. I can see and hear the sound card fine from there.
Even more bizarre is my main box running FC5 which has an Audigy 1 card.
FC5 complains that it cannot find the sound card. I can play CDs just
fine. If I invoke an MP3 file via XMMS it says it cannot find the sound
card yet I can play the same file in Mplayer just fine.
I would love to leave Windows behind totally (I run Linux on all 3 of my
machines, 2 desktops and 1 laptop) and the sound issues (and the fact
that my main music apps are not Linux based) keeps me from doing so.)
I am NOT a happy camper wrt to sound... (Everything else seems just fine).
I had something vaguely similar. There was a line in /etc/modules.conf
that was disabling it after the clean install. Which was a bit odd...
So I removed that line, ran the detection app and then aumix to check
levels and it was all fine...
If that doesn't work:
check the output of lspci, make sure it's showing up
Look at the output of lsmod, check you have a module called (I think)
