Take it easy, since you have reasonable /var/log/messages stuff maybe you are
not far off. I can see two things I might have expected in your list but
didn't see.
First, cat /proc/asound/cards and see what Alsa thinks you have.
Next, have a look and see if you have alsamixer in your path, if not install
http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/Fedora/RPMS/alsa-utils-1.0.3-1.i386.rpm
Make sure you have this guy too
rpm -q alsa-lib
if not, get it here
http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/Fedora/RPMS/alsa-lib-1.0.4-1.i386.rpm
Then run alsamixer (the gold standard for alsa volume control) and see what
you see. Note that many mixer chips have a bit to control the power to an
external audio amplifier, if this is set to power the amp off you will get no
output.
