I am not so sure that yast can help you yet.   We need to figure out if
the correct kernel module has been loaded before we can get anywhere.
Everything done at the command line here should not interfere with yast.

what does the output of lsmod |grep snd look like?

For me it looks something like this:
$ lsmod |grep snd
snd_atiixp_modem       16036  0
snd_atiixp             19424  3
snd_ac97_codec         73212  2 snd_atiixp_modem,snd_atiixp
snd_pcm_oss            47008  0
snd_mixer_oss          17280  1 snd_pcm_oss
snd_pcm                81928  5
snd_atiixp_modem,snd_atiixp,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss
snd_timer              23428  2 snd_pcm
snd                    51460  11
snd_atiixp_modem,snd_atiixp,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer
soundcore               9696  1 snd
snd_page_alloc         10120  3 snd_atiixp_modem,snd_atiixp,snd_pcm

also the output from lspci is useful, look for multimedia audio controller.

0000:00:14.5 Multimedia audio controller: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown
device 4370 (rev 02)

If everything looks good so far, check to make sure that the device is
not being used or is locked by a program:

$ fuser /dev/snd/pcmC0D0*
/dev/snd/pcmC0D0p:    8550m  8552m

$ ps axf |grep 8550
17659 pts/3    S+     0:00  |   |           \_ grep 8550
 8550 ?        SL     0:45 /usr/bin/artsd -F 10 -S 4096 -s 60 -m
artsmessage -c drkonqi -l 3 -f

$ ps axf |grep 8552
17679 pts/3    S+     0:00  |   |           \_ grep 8552
 8552 ?        Ss     0:00 /usr/bin/artsd -F 10 -S 4096 -s 60 -m
artsmessage -c drkonqi -l 3 -f

Hmmm, it looks like I need to kill artsd (an audio daemon that is not
even liked by the original developer).  You may see something similar.

So, post the output from lsmod |grep snd, lspci and we will go from
there.  Also what happens when you run alsamixer from the command line?
