Fedora now uses ALSA
system.config-sound will help you set up your card

~/Desktop is the new standard location for Gnome / KDE desktops. The old

Open your X config file and set:
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
It's prolly currently set to XFree86. That'll fix the problem, and

(maybe already) to fix this.
