what does it give as output the command cat /proc/asound/devices ? Is the directory /proc/asound/card0 empty or does it contain any files? is the directory /dev/snd empty or does it contain any files? what does it give as output the command lsmod | grep -E "alsa|snd|sound|hda"
I don't know if the module snd-hda-codec is necessary to be loaded too.... What does contain the file /etc/asound.conf and/or your home .asoundrc if any?
