Fedora 9 Beta does sound. Ubuntu Hardy does not?

Both are betas and both use PulseAudio. Why is it that it works out of the box in Fedora but not in Ubuntu? All things being equal, I *much* prefer Ubuntu but not having sound doesn't make things equal. This is driving me mad. I just did (yet another) fresh install of Hardy yesterday with the
