FC3 Still Hates Me: No Sound

OK, next gripe. It detects my hardware, loads modules, I've used alsamixer to 
make sure it's unmuted, I've used aRTS Control Tool to turn up the volume, 
I've checked settings under aumix, nothing. There's no longer a "volume 
control" menu item under "Sound & Video" or I would have tried that.

Not even a decent error message. system-config-soundcard says it found a VIA 
VT8233/A 8235/8237 AC87 Audio Controller and used module 
snd_via82xx. Hitting the 'play test sound' button produces the following 
output in the terminal window:
