Hi Jim. As I'm totally obsessed by pulseaudio causing sound problems on F8, 
I'd suggest removing the alsa-plugins-pulseaudio package, then see if the 
sound works.

Just a shot in the dark, and maybe I've got pulseaudio on the brain, but other 
folks have got their sounds up by removing that package.

Nigel.
