Does gnome-volume-control show a sound card? Have you tried turning up the volume with gnome-volume-control?
1. Yes 2. Yes, with no effect
Someone reports, It works once user has has been added to 'audio' group, http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showpost.php?p=1259271&postcount=14
(In reply to comment #2) > 1. Yes > > 2. Yes, with no effect Hmm, that suggests that the low level mixer is not set up properly for some reason. Could you please play around with "alsamixer -c0" in a terminal and see if you can get it working? If you notice that toggling one control or changing the volume of another makes things work then please remember exactly which one and tell us, so that we can set them by default.

So since you said it shows up, this is not the problem here.
(In reply to comment #3) > Someone reports, It works once user has has been added to 'audio' group, > http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showpost.php?p=1259271&postcount=14 No, I cannot confirm. Sounds are not working.

Sounds are not working. Yes, I expressly wrote that this will unlikely fix the issue for you. What about the "alsamixer -c0" stuff I suggested above? And luck with that?
alsamixer -c0 did not help. It recognized my card as Card: Intel ICH6 │ Chip: SigmaTel STAC9750,51 │ View: [Playback] Capture All All channels are unmuted and set to non-zero values. Many combinations were tested in "Sound preferences". No luck. No sound at all.
Updates: Plugged headphones are working! But: 1. I hear a great background hum 2. pulsaudio daemon died after a few attempts to play sound with message: E: mainloop.c: Assertion 'e->callback' failed at pulse/mainloop.c:711, function dispatch_pollfds(). Aborting. Aborted
Sounds seem to work for me on Fedora 12 Snap3 http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/ (i686)
OK, closing then, since this seems to work now. (Most likely this was just a missing model=xxx parameter to the intel-hda driver)
