LinuxQuestions.org - Fedora 8 refuses to detect my Live 5.1 soundcard..!!

[Solved: Problem not with Fedora not recognizing the soundcard but the buggy PulseAudio]

Hi All,

Just installed a fresh Fedora8 with all the plugins and codecs, but the sound is not working. It shows always muted in the panel and I can't configure it. However the soundcard detection configuration detects it and even plays the sound there but the systemwide sound is off, no video/audio players are opening up, some do open but without any sound. This soundcard works perfectly fine in previous versions of Fedora.

What could be the problem? The card is a Creative Live! 5.1

Help
Thanks.
