What does /etc/modules.conf contain with regard to the sound driver
kernel module?

# cat /etc/modules.conf
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
alias eth0 8139too
alias eth1 8139too
alias sound-slot-0 via82cxxx_audio
post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 | | :
alias usb-controller usb-uhci

It may be that the via82cxxx_audio.o module does not support your
sound chipset. Have you tried ALSA (from freshrpms) yet?

I tried ALSA mailing list since RH7.3 and could not solve the same problem. I left it without a solution. After upgrade to RH8.0, I posted to RedHat8.0 mailing list and ALSA mailing simultaneously but no response from ALSA. I am considering to post another message to ALSA mailing list again.

Thanks
