Idem on the following card on Fedora Core 2 test2: Vendor: Ensoniq Model: 5880 AudioPCI Module: snd-ens1371
This might be because Alsa is muted by default. I noticed that on the lists: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2004-April/msg01248.html
I think its also important that on the list they are talking about after actually getting into X, but this same thing could apply to the installer, too. This might not be it, but I thought it might be a possibility.
Should be fixed in system-config-soundcard-1.2.8-1 in Rawhide.
