I have a similar board from Asrock which has apparently the same onboard audio 
card; on my FC5 install the audio module used is snd-hda-intel and the sound 
works... the relevant section in /etc/modules.conf is:

alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-card-0 index=0
options snd-hda-intel index=0
remove snd-hda-intel { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0 >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; 
/sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-hda-intel
