Why are you trying to run your system in single user mode? That is usually reserved for troubleshooting. Most system services are not run in single user mode, and specifically, /etc/rc.d/rc.alsa is only run from /etc/rc.d/rc.M (which is only run in multiuser modes).

Have you rebooted since? Usually `telinit 3` in the terminal as root should restore the system to a normal multiuser runlevel 3. What is the output of `who -r`? You may wish to (re)run `alsaconf` as root and make sure everything in /etc/modprobe.d/sound (or sound.conf?) looks OK. Otherwise, the output of `lspci -vv`, `lsmod` and `aplay -l` would be handy.
