Yup, I see much the same thing.  I have an IBM Aptiva of similar vintage 
(P3-400) that since FC2 doesn't have sound (FC1 was fine).  Kudzu 
located a sound card and the hardware browser says it sees a "Onboard 
PnP Audio - CSC0100" using driver snd-cs4236.  In spite of that I don't 
get any sound and as with you the sound card detection program says it 
can't find a sound card.

I don't know of any solution and this machine is up to date.
