I found I had to
(a) install and use pavucontrol so I could make pulseaudio send stuff to the
right places ("everyone" has two soundcards these days as there's the HDMI
audio in your graphics card which probably isn't connected to anything
unless it is - basically you can't get this right any more and there needs
to be an extra configuration step).
(b) play with (in my case) "alsamixer -c 0" to fix up my mixers and stuff.
Pulse doesn't seem to like independent headphones - if I turn that on no
amount of messing about will get me any sound.
(c) Manually save the ALSA state with alsactl and put something in rc.local
to reload it because F15 no longer gets this right, and otherwise I have to
do (b) again every time I reboot.
