Turns out it was a hardware problem. I put a basic soundblaster card
in and disabled the onboard Intel card and now it works.

I suppose it could still be some kind of configuration/driver error,
but I worked on it for hours and couldn't figure out how to get it to
work. This was actually an identical replacement motherboard for an
existing system that had died for another reason (water damage).

I even replaced the hard disk with a new one, and went through a new
install of fc14 using the blank hard disk and new motherboard, and it
also had no audio.

After dropping the hard disk into the system with the new identical
board, sound was the only thing that didn't work. I believe it worked
before, but it was also immediately after an upgrade from fc13 to
fc14, and the user couldn't remember whether sound worked.

On this new install rhythmbox radio station list was blank. Do you
have any idea why this would be? Where does this information come
from? Every other system I've used has these available by default.

This package didn't exist, and yum also can't find it. Is that indeed the name?

Silence, although all the visual meters seem to indicate sound is
actually playing.

Thanks again,
