[mythtv-users] Sound in FC2 2.6.8-1.521

I just did a fresh install and booted straight into X and ran XMMS. I
attempted to play the KDE startup sound and I get no sound. The file
plays but I don't get any sound. When I attempt to play the test sound
in the sound card detection in KDE i hear nothing as well. I get no
errors or anything, just no sound. Again, this is a fresh install of
FC2 with the stock kernel. Any thoughts or ideas?
