Still no joy - I am at a loss to know what to check - if I boot a 194 kernel no sound, 164 kernel is fine - why the regression? Same configs, same modules loaded but now no sound - what can I check to determine problem and find a solution? no errors in logs or dmesg
I would suggest you start checking back through the changelogs between kernel-2.6.18-194.el5 and kernel-2.6.18-164.el5, find likely candidates that may have caused your issue and then rebuild a testing kernel with that patch reverted. If that testing kernel fixes your issue then you've identified the issue and can file a bug report upstream.
To start you on your way, this patch looks like a likely candidate for you to investigate further:
