Hi David,
If you're already familiar with elrepo then I'd suggest you try their
updated alsa sound drivers.
yum --enanlerepo=elrepo install kmod-alsa
and reboot.
Also, don't forget to check your sound device isn't muted. The ALSA docs
state:
Note: All mixer channels are muted by default. You must use a native
or OSS mixer program to unmute appropriate channels (for example a
mixer from the alsa-utils package).
