Hi Joerg -

 - Check the situation from Alsa's point of view, cat /proc/asound/cards

 - How do you test the card, xmms?  Something else?  Do you get any errors, or 
does the thing seem to play just silently?

 - running Alsamixer would be good, this is the 'gold standard' volume control 
for Alsa.

Have a look and see if you have alsamixer in your path, if not install

http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/Fedora/RPMS/alsa-utils-1.0.3-1.i386.rpm

Make sure you have alsa-lib installed too

rpm -q alsa-lib

if not, get it here

http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/Fedora/RPMS/alsa-lib-1.0.4-1.i386.rpm

Then run alsamixer and see what you see.  Note that many mixer chips have a 
bit to control the power to an external audio amplifier, if this is set to 
power the amp off you will get no output.
