I have a related issue:

I have been running FC16 for some time w/o incident. Latest working kernel was 3.4.11-1.fc16.i686.PAE. Yesterday I performed a 'yum update' and got kernel 3.6.2-1. 

Sound stopped working. System rolling in (from /var/log/messages):

Oct 26 15:20:47 blackhole udevd[564]: timeout: killing '/sbin/modprobe -bv pci:v00008086d000027D8sv00001028sd000001DEbc04sc03i00' [585]
Oct 26 15:20:48 blackhole udevd[572]: timeout: killing '/sbin/modprobe -bv pci:v00008086d000027B8sv00000000sd00000000bc06sc01i00' [593]

In addition to broken sound functionality, the system does not shutdown (disks stop spinning, but shutdown screen hangs). I have to manually complete the shutdown (hold power button). System will reboot, but sound still broken and /var/log/messages rolls in above error msgs. Got to be 500MB big before I noticed this!!!

When I reboot and come up with 3.4.11-1, all is well!

I am running FC16 on a Dell Precision 390

I also have a closely related sound issue: The last kernel for which my sound worked was 3.5.5-2. The next two kernels, 3.6.1-1 and 3.6.2-4, exhibit the "dummy output" message in the sound settings window. My system is x86-64; the sound card is identified by lspci as:
Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 06).

I also have a related problem:

It is, however, Fedora 17 - the sound settings tool exhibits "dummy output."
Scanning http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=285092 produces the
suggestion that I should implement $HOME/.xinitrc and $HOME/.xserverrc. I did
as suggested (AFAICT); however, it had no effect on the sound settings tool.

lspci produces:
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 06)

I failed to mention that this sound problem did not exist in the 3.5.5 kernel, but showed up in 3.6.1-1 and persisted in 3.6.2-4.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '16'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
