----------- Kudzu -------------

In Fedora the virtual sound card is set / recognized as Soundblaster 16 PNPb003
Snd-sb16.

Not sure whether this is related to the requirement to install the virtual PC
additions for Linux. Another virtual Linux, using Knoppix 5.0 LiveCD installed
to virtual harddisk does recognize correctly.

You need to load a driver for your card manually, Fedora doesn't load drivers
for ISA cards on boot. Run (as root) "modprobe snd-sb16" and it should work.

Please attach an output from "dmesg" command.

a similar problem i've got with this hardware:
http://smolt.fedoraproject.org/show?UUID=5da3e746-3e61-4627-b4cf-f37f4acca671

inspecting /var/log/messages have found:
Sep  9 14:16:44 obi kernel: cannot find the slot for index 0 (range 0-7), error: -16
Sep  9 14:16:44 obi kernel: C-Media PCI: probe of 0000:04:01.0 failed with error -12
Sep  9 14:16:44 obi kernel: usbcore: registered new interface driver snd-usb-audio

also noticed a line : "Sep  9 10:28:00 obi kernel: PCI: If a device doesn't
work, try "pci=routeirq".  If it helps, post a report"

in /boot/grub/grub.conf i modified the kernel command line adding "pci=routeirq" 

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.22.4-65.fc7 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet pci=routeirq

after a reboot the message changed to :"Sep  9 19:22:22 obi kernel: Kernel
command line: ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet pci=routeirq"

now works fine.
