Greetings!

It looks like you have a USB sound device in addition to the built-in Intel HDA sound system. So I have to ask what sound device you are trying to use.
If you are having problems with the built in sound, then there are a couple of things to check. The first thing is the mixer settings. By default, the sound levels are low, and some channels are turned off. Another possible trouble spot is that the first set of HDA sound definitions are commented out, and a second set without setting the model is there. Because of this, you may not be using the correct settings for your sound setup. The Intel HDA sound interface is configurable for the hardware you have hooked up to it, and if you use the wrong configuration for your hardware, some things do not work correctly, or at all. On my notebook, if you do not specify the correct model, you do not have the master volume control, so it is hard to hear anything until you correct that.
