Well, according to that, it's only seeing the modem part of your
sound card.  It's not seeing the audio bit (and I should have caught
that from your lspci output).

So, something is very weird.  I think F8 uses alsa 1.0.15 and it should
detect the chipset.  The on-board sound is enabled in the BIOS, right?
