I don't remember exactly what I had to do, but I had no sound when 
pulseaudio was on my system on Fedora 8 (x86_64).  I think I just did a 
"yum remove pulseaudio" and this allowed the ALSA drivers to work as 
they used to.  I believe that I followed the advice found here:

and it worked out for me.

Good luck.  Hope this helps!
