Edward,
 1st) do you have a /etc/asound.state file if so 'alsactl restore' isn't 
running as per /etc/modprobe.conf.
       what I do is in /etc/rc.d/rc.local put '/usr/sbin/alsactl 
restore' if it works good,if it (the  startup.ogg)
        stops when KDE boots the desktop,as in mine FC3, I put this in  
~/kde/Autostart/alsactl.desktop
        [desktop Entry]
         Exec=/usr/sbin/alsactl restore
         Name=Alsactl
         Type=Application
         X-KDE-StartupNotify=false
