I have run 5 versions of Fedora on this machine. FC6 is the first one thast can't find my sound card. What do I do about that?

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).
ciao, furlan

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) snd-emu10k1 loaded

Hello,
perhaps you can say us which soundcard you have.

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 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.
