Did you see any reference to detection of a sound card at the time your 
installed Fedora on your system?  You probably should have if a sound 
card was detected.  In FC2 one can check by using the Gnome hardware 
browser.  (panel popup menu "system Tools" --> Hardware Browser)

Sound problems are a common issue with linux/fedora newbies, Chet.  The 
release notes do not give people any advance notice that at installation 
the default sound volume is setting is zero or mute.  In FC2 one can 
address the sound off condition by going to Gnome panel popup menu (Red 
Hat icon), Preferences --> Sound and  popup menu  Sound & Video --> 
Volume Control

You might want to search the archives of all Fedora and Red Hat mailing 
lists before posing additional questions.  All of the lists can be
