[ale] sound driver problems

I am trying (and losing what little hair I have left) to get FC11 up and 
running. Among other minor snafus is "drag and drop."  It doesn't seem to work 
at all in KDE.  I have backup files stored on a USB hard drive and I can't drag 
them over to the new home directory in KDE.  I have to boot a gnome session to 
do that. WTF?
But my problem tonight is sound.  What follows is a portion of 
/var/log/messages following the last reboot.

Jun 28 08:23:36 Sarge kernel: ALSA sound/pci/hda/hda_intel.c:1101: Too big 
adjustment 32: adj=128, bytes=128, size=4096, periods=32
Jun 28 08:23:36 Sarge pulseaudio[3953]: alsa-source.c: Your kernel driver is 
broken: it reports a volume range from 18.00 dB to 18.00 dB which makes no 
sense.

Jun 28 08:24:09 Sarge pulseaudio[2432]: reserve-wrap.c: Failed to acquire

If, indeed the Alsa kernel driver is broken, how do I fix that?  I do get 
sounds -- I can play an .ogg file without problem.  

I have no clue as to what the actual problem might be or how to fix it.

Hints, clues, and advice would be appreciated.

Sean
