I found that there was another module loading before the snd-hda-intel thus I added index=0 to the one I needed and index=1 to the other module that seemed to get in the way. the clue was looking under System>Administration>Sound Card Detection and seeing the Audio configuration dialog > Settings tab - it showed my desired sound card as number 1 rather than 0 with another item as number 0 (one I did not even know was on the computer). Took me a recompiled kernel and hours of wasted time. Old kernels all worked fine - thus I thought it was a kernel patch problem - removed all the related patches and still no joy. I do not know what they are doing to the kernel but over time the loading of modules, order of disk detection etc is becoming much more of an issue. HTH YMMV
Thank you for your explanations and for the suggestions.
Unfortunately i only have a single device in Sound Card Detection > Audio configuration dialog > Settings tab so the snd-hda-intel is number 0.
Patching and recompiling the kernel is over my level of expertise.
For the moment i will continue to use kernel#2.6.18-194.26.1.el5.centos.plus at least the next kernel update will appear.
Elrepo and kmod-alsa provided by them is the next thing on my "to do" list (the clue is coming from oracle compatible kernel .. in the release notes they mention that they updated alsa-hda drivers) . . If the problem is solved by this i well see in short time.
Problem solved by: yum --enablerepo=elrepo install kmod-alsa
I do hope that the next centos kernel will work out of the box but till then i will use the above solution
Thanks to everyone for suport
