This is sound, but i do not see a driver for any specific card. I assume
you ran sndconfig as root? what does the conf.modules look like?
rmmod sound
rmmod soundlow
rmmod soundcore
modprobe sound > ~/sounds.broke 2>&1
Now whats ~/sounds.broke have in it? (less ~/sounds.broke) errors?
also maybe something in /var/log/messages. (tail -n10 /var/log/messages)
