I got two recommendations: a) Used 'alsamixer' to unmute all channels. The were, as a responder suggested, muted. b) Installed kmod-alsa from elrepo. It produced a bunch of warnings which I ignored. c) I performed lspci | grep -i audio, and got

Hmm, any idea why you have 2 audio controllers?
I am not sure where to go from here.
Next you need to identify the Vendor:Device ID pairing for your device(s) above and then search for a driver that supports them.
If I show you by example, on MY hardware, perhaps you can follow along for yours...
You already did:
# lspci | grep -i audio 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02)
so now take the PCI ID (first part above) and query it for the Vendor:Device ID pairing:
# lspci -n | grep '00:1b.0' 00:1b.0 0403: 8086:293e (rev 02)
and take the Vendor:Device ID pairing (8086:293e in my example) and search for a matching driver supporting that device:
# grep -i 8086 /lib/modules/*/modules.alias | grep -i 293e /lib/modules/2.6.18-128.el5/modules.alias:alias pci:v00008086d0000293Esv*sd*bc*sc*i* snd-hda-intel /lib/modules/2.6.18-164.el5/modules.alias:alias pci:v00008086d0000293Esv*sd*bc*sc*i* snd-hda-intel /lib/modules/2.6.18-194.el5/modules.alias:alias pci:v00008086d0000293Esv*sd*bc*sc*i* snd-hda-intel /lib/modules/2.6.18-238.9.1.el5/modules.alias:alias pci:v00008086d0000293Esv*sd*bc*sc*i* snd-hda-intel /lib/modules/2.6.18-238.el5/modules.alias:alias pci:v00008086d0000293Esv*sd*bc*sc*i* snd-hda-intel /lib/modules/2.6.18-53.el5/modules.alias:alias pci:v00008086d0000293Esv*sd*bc*sc*i* snd-hda-intel /lib/modules/2.6.18-92.el5/modules.alias:alias pci:v00008086d0000293Esv*sd*bc*sc*i* snd-hda-intel
which shows me the snd-hda-intel driver present in kernel-2.6.18-53.el5 onwards supports my hardware.
Now do the same for your hardware and show us the results.
