That particular problem has been fixed on FC5, but was a fixable problem on earlier FC versions. What do you see if you run, cat /proc/asound/cards Also. Have you had any kernel updates? Have you tried booting with earlier kernels to check out if it might be a kernel related problem? Also, and I'm not sure if it is on FC5, or FC6, but the volume control on KDE was showing grey with a line through it, and opening the volume control, showed the green enabled light not illuminated. Clicking on that got the sounds going. As I say, it may be on FC6 though. Nigel.
