Hello:
I installed FC4-x86_64 on my machine which is Athlon64 3000+, initially 
the system-config-soundcard can not play sound out.

but after I "yum update"(livna repo), now it upgrade to 
system-config-soundcard-1.2.12-2, when I try to play sound detection 
program, it will not run as following:
----------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/system-config-soundcard/system-config-soundcard.py", 
line 46, in ?
  app = soundcard.childWindow()
File "/usr/share/system-config-soundcard/soundcard.py", line 64, in 
__init__
  self.cardList = self.soundcardBackend.probeCards()
File "/usr/share/system-config-soundcard/soundcardBackend.py", line 111, 
in probeCards    driverList = read_driver_list()
File "/usr/share/system-config-soundcard/soundcardBackend.py", line 48, 
in read_driver_list
  fd = open('/proc/asound/modules', 'r')
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/proc/asound/modules'
----------------------------------------------
and indeed there is no /proc/asound.
I have 939NF4G-SATA2 motherboard which intergrated sound card,I use 
NFORCE-Linux-x86-1.0-0310-pkg1.run to install nvsound module. using 
"lsmod", I found "nvsound" and "soundcore", but no others snd modules.

Also, it seems that although system-config-soundcard can't work, the 
sound card actually can produce sound using one sound create 
application(i forget the name).

How can I do to let /proc/asound directory appear?

Thanks a lot!
