The release notes 

http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f9/en_US/sn-Multimedia.html

and the following page which has not been updated to
reflect the removal of system-config-soundcard 

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Multimedia/Sound

are the closest things that you can use to try to help
you out.  There is always the alsa webpage:

http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page

There's a discussion at the fedoraforum

http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=180117

There's this page also (bit outdated) 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeaturePulseaudio

Maybe a pulseaudio troubleshooting guide?:
