I have had problems with soundblaster live/audigy and Alsa for a while 
in FC 2
but have some answers:

1/
   In /etc/modprobe.conf this rarely works so I use # alsactl restore 
after booting

install snd-emu10k1 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-emu10k1 &&
    /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :

2/
   In alsmixer/gnome-alsamixer there is control named

"Audigy(or live) Analog/Digital Output Jack"

I found on my system it needs to 'off' or no sound
