I tried this - but don't know all the places to look.  Unfortunately, no
luck.  Today, I downloaded the FC6 LiveCD, and sound seems to work via
that, so I know that Fedora CAN still use my sound system and it's just
something screwy in my config files.

To test, I looked at the modprobe.conf loaded on the LiveCD, and used
that on the machine (with a few small things added for firewire,
ethernet, USB and disabling IPV6).  This did NOT help, leading me to
believe that there is a config file that needs to be changed/removed.  I
just don't know where.  Any suggestions?  Unfortunately, unlike the
apparent target audience for Fedora, I can't start from scratch every
six months when a new version comes out.  I'd like to stick with Fedora,
but if stuff like this keeps happening I may need to shift to something
else.  Feh.
