Looking at the details below I don't find anything that jumps out as a
potential culprit. What is it you are using to test sound? How does it
fail?

I would, in sequence:
- stop the sound driver (/etc/rc.d/init.d/alsasound stop)
- make sure no alsa sound modules remain loaded
- remove the mixer configuration (rm /etc/asound.state)
- start the sound driver with no configuration
  (/etc/rc.d/init.d/alsasound start)
- start alsamixer as root, unmute and set levels
- store the configuration (/usr/sbin/alsactl store)
- try out sound... (for example aplay a wav file)
