Modprobe with the other snd card
alias eth0 via-rhine
alias snd-card-0 snd-cmipci
options snd-card-0 index=0
install snd-cmipci /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-cmipci && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :

alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd

Thanks for your answers,

The onboard card is c-media;

That Genius is here (I think);

If you want to use the pci soundcard I would disable the onboard sound in the bios.
Looks like it found a C-Media
install snd-cmipci /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-cmipci && /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
Did you run alsamixer and make sure to check if your PCM and Master volumes
are not muted. More on alsa;

Most times with fedora the sound will work out of the box.
Hope this helps

Hello Comprokie2000,

Than's for your reply, you gave me the answer, it was a bios configuration problem.

If somebody have the same problem, I hope this can helps.
