Could you please attach /proc/asound/cards? What sound card do you have, some integrated?

It is an integrated soundcard, it is a LInuxCertified LC2410. system-config-soundcard detects snd-intel8x0, but then very quickly asks whether i hear a sound. I don't but say yes anyway because i do not know what else to do. There is no /dev/dsp and kde reports no sound when i log on. The system originally came with fc1, and sound worked in fc1, fc2 and fc3

I solved the problem by downloading a kernel from www.kernel.org and enable everything in the ISA device section as modules. Above I attach a copy of the /proc/asound/cards file as it now looks. I don't know if I could have downloaded kernel source from the fedora site I don't know how to do that.
could you please run system-config-soundcard (with your new kernel) and attach /root/scsound.log?
It turned out to be a problem with HIGHMEM. Once I compiled a kernel with HIGHMEM turned off everything worked again
