Do you have more than one sound card?  There is another thread on the
list about the problems that can cause if order not specified.
The wrong card can become default.

If that is the case, see that thread for modifications to
your /etc/modprobe.conf.  Google should find it if you also put in
fedora-list or it should be at

http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.general

Are there any messages in /var/log/message.log about this problem?

Otherwise, give us more information.

"uname -r" output

cat /proc/asound/version output

aplay -lLv output.

amixer output
