Hi Pithball,
Your /etc/modprobe.conf doesn't look right. Try this:
Ok, I tried your lines, this time in /etc/modprobe.conf and /etc/modprobe.d/sound is non-existing.
I am not sure what changes were made when installing the alsa development releases but the only thing you really need from those is your alsasound file from the Driver package which you have already copied to /etc/init.d (permissions 755).
Yes, /etc/init.d/alsasound is there, with exactly those permissions.
Now, I reboot my machine. After reboot, alsamixer still shows PCM/Front/Line/Mic/IEC958/Input So/Input So. Thus, no master volume, no external amplifier. Nothing muted, all volumes to 100.
aplay -D plughw:0,0 or 0,2 /usr/share/sounds/info.wav seems to play, but I do not hear anything. Same without -D. (It just says Playing WAVE... no errors)
Back to your routine:
[root@localhost ~]# /sbin/service alsasound stop Shutting down sound driver: done
[root@localhost ~]# lsmod | grep snd snd_page_alloc 11272 0
[root@localhost ~]# /sbin/service alsasound start Starting sound driver: snd-hda-intel done
[root@localhost ~]# lsmod | grep snd snd_hda_intel 19732 0 snd_hda_codec 163840 1 snd_hda_intel snd_pcm 86276 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec snd_timer 25604 1 snd_pcm snd_snd 63884 4 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 10017 1 snd snd_page_alloc 11272 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm
Testing with aplay again. Nothing, also not with headphones in my headphone or line-out plug.
/bin/alsaunmute 0
Ok. What I can see is this sets PCM volume to 75, Front to 74. It mutes Mic. Testing with aplay... everything still the same.
Let's try system-config-soundcard again, to generate a new /root/scsound.log file. Here it is:

I did not hear the test sound :(
Thanks again, JeeBee.
