As far as I know, Creative Labs have only recently released the required
specs of the X-fi card(s).
As a result, the alsa driver support for X-fi cards is in early alpha
state (The initial release was 1.0.21, F13 uses 1.0.23).

Never the less, you should be able to get basic sound (As far as I could
see the X-fi Xtreme is supported by this driver).
Two questions:
A. Are you seeing a the volume control slider? Is it unmuted?
B. Using the console, what the output of $ /sbin/lsmod | grep snd?
