Hi, John:

I am guessing that your sound card is not configured properly.

If Fedora Core supports 'dmesg' :-|
Are there any error messages about sound/audio in the output of

dmesg | grep -i sound
dmesg | grep -i audio
?

Place the microphone near the speaker.  Do you hear a squeal?

In my Gnome workstation I click on - Applications - Volume Control -
Is the microphone level set to maximum?
Is the 'mute' button cleared?

Do you know how to issue console commands as user 'root' ?
Do you know how to save the result of console commands to a text file?
Do you know how to paste this text into an email?

lsmod | grep snd
lsmod | grep snd > snd.txt

lspci -v | grep -A 5 audio
lspci -v | grep -A 5 audio > audio.txt

Where did you look?  How did you look?  I find my 'modules.conf' in "/etc/".
 /etc/modules.conf

Perhaps Fedora Core does not use 'modules.conf'.  :-|

HTH, Chuck
