Sound not working on 3.12.x and 3.13.x kernels for Fedora 20

[dwoody1]

I have had lots of input on this problem, however, none have fixed the 
sound problem.
At this point, it is time to submit a bug report.
Do I need to file the report with Fedora or with kernel.org?

Thanks to all for your help,

David
