You don't say what
the sound card is, so we cannot even tell if the
driver is installed.
I have 2 sound cards installed, one on the mobo and one a soundblaster
Audigy 2 (my preferred card).
Since I installed FC5 the initial install and each kernel update only
comes back with the one on the mobo. I run the soundcard detection tool
and it brings in the second card. Will that fix your problem?

The point is that
the soundcard detection tool does not detect a
soundcard which it did in FC5, FC4, etc. etc and so forth.

I have an Audigy 2 card. Initial install of FC6 seemed to find it during
the sound card detection. I could hear the sample sound and answered
the dialog correctly. Subsequent boots show NO sound card.
Oddly enough this is on a dual boot machine w/ Windows XP Pro on the
other partition. I can see and hear the sound card fine from there.
Even more bizarre is my main box running FC5 which has an Audigy 1 card.
FC5 complains that it cannot find the sound card. I can play CDs just
fine. If I invoke an MP3 file via XMMS it says it cannot find the sound
card yet I can play the same file in Mplayer just fine.
I would love to leave Windows behind totally (I run Linux on all 3 of my
machines, 2 desktops and 1 laptop) and the sound issues (and the fact
that my main music apps are not Linux based) keeps me from doing so.)
I am NOT a happy camper wrt to sound... (Everything else seems just fine).

I had something vaguely similar. There was a line in /etc/modules.conf
that was disabling it after the clean install. Which was a bit odd...
So I removed that line, ran the detection app and then aumix to check
levels and it was all fine...
If that doesn't work:
check the output of lspci, make sure it's showing up
Look at the output of lsmod, check you have a module called (I think)

That is a good question. lspci can't find one, neither can lshw.
But it was there when I was running FC5. It is mystery alright.

I have possible
solution that I will report if true. In the last month
my house was flooded. The machine we are discussing was the only one I
did not move myself. It would nto surprise me that the sound card got
dislaged. I iwll check that tonight.

Did you get this sorted? I had exactly the same symptoms with my Audigy
card. When you ran the soundcard detection package, did you say that you
could not hear the sound? If so, that would cause the module to be
not-loaded. Lie to it. Say 'yes' then open a mixer and check for muted
channels. Once I had done that everything was fine.

I've done something similar: Said yes, when it didn't work, then fiddle
with things later. I can't remember what my problem was, but it wasn't
muting.
It does seem exceedingly stupid for a sound-card configuring utility not
to unmute channels and normalise the levels, first.

I don't mind lying but if the the gui can't find a sound card it will
not ask you if you heard the sound. Something is really wrong.

I must have misunderstood your original message. I thought you said that it
was correctly identified, but the module didn't install and the soundcard
didn't work.

I, for one, have never considered lying to my computer. Thanks^6 for the
suggestion! My sound is now working again under FC5. I can now use
Streamtuner & XMMS w/o it complaining that it can't find the sound card
even though I could play the same MP3s via MPlayer and play CDs w/o a
problem.
