I'm not too concerned about the sound applet not working. I just let it 
"think" that there is no audio device. I hope that it gets fixed with 
further development withr FC2.

There are others that are having problems loading their sound modules 
that replied on the fedora-test list. No one has said if they tried to 
run redhat-config-soundcard or just tried to insmod the related modules.
 
The program is most likely the same one that you used, with different 
names. I run it from the comandline through a root terminal. It looks 
the same program through
System Settings >> Soundcard Detection in the English menu setup.
