Andy, FC3 is recognizing the card correctly as Analog Devices AC97 because the card on ur system is SoundMax Digital AC97.
Do the following: In /etc/modprobe.conf load the snd-intel8x0 alsa module. In /etc/hotplug/blacklist add snd-intel8x0 to the list of drivers to not hotplug. Save the changes, reboot, and then turn up the volume in the Gnome volume control and you should hear the soundcard working.
