Fine, check the integrity of the install:
rpm -V alsa-lib alsa-utils alsa-lib-devel

"alsa" is not just one package, try:

Yes, it should detect both. There could be several reasons for the
failure. One is that for some reason the system does not see the card
as
plugged in into the pci bus (which does not make
sense as you say it
works under windows). Do a:
lspci -v
Do you see an entry for the 2496?
The other reason could be that the card has a pci revision number that
is not recognized by the version of alsa that you have installed at
this
point (is this the Planet CCRMA version? Or the
original Fedora
version?).
Try loading (as root) the kernel module for the card and see what the
load process says:
/sbin/modprobe snd-ice1712
I'm not at this computer now, but when I did
rpm -q alsa
it said that alsa was not installed. I guess the FC3 installer doesn't
include it by default. Maybe that is my next step. When I try to run alsamixer I get:
alsamixer: error while loading shared libraries: libasound.so.2: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory
I found libasound.so.2 in /lib.
That's where it should be in fc3.
Adding /lib to my LD_LIBRARY_PATH did not
help. Symlinking /usr/lib/libasound.so.2 to /lib/libasound.so.2 did not
do anything.
Very strange. Which alsamixer are you running? Do:
which alsamixer
That should return /usr/bin/alsamixer. Or run "/usr/bin/alsamixer"
explicitly to make sure you are not running another binary.
If the rpm verify command above does not report missing files and
alsamixer is the original then I don't know what's going on.
