Are the sound modules loaded? What is your kernel version?

Here is the output from each. I can't find any obvious irregularities, except for the fact that system-config-soundcard lists two available soundcards (both VIA8235). The output of aplay -l is at the bottom of the post.

smOk3, in the end I installed an old PCI soundcard I had lying around and that worked fine. I guess there was no definitive way to tell that it wasn't some weird problem with the hardware not working properly.

Thanks for the suggestion but I am using a laptop and have not messed with the internals much...not sure if I can replace the sound card, but I heard that VIA isn't always 'linux-friendly', so I am not sure if sound will ever work unless I learn how to program device drivers. Thanks for your help though.
