I originally fiddled with the mixer settings, volume and just about everything else. Nothing worked, nada, just the big silence. Switching over to the audigy (sp?) driver (which I understand is OSS) and everything worked perfectly immediately.
My box is a dual P-III running the SMP kernel, vanilla RC3 with the exception that I put the latest initscripts RPM on (USB problems as previously reported here). I plan some more fiddling, but not until after 9.0 goes gold - I've got some other things to do, including educating the wife on Linux so that she can start to teach people at work.
