OK, that means that you have no sound card driver loaded. It is not
surprising then that you have no sound.
If what is below is your /etc/modprobe.conf, then just do
modprobe snd-card-0
Now, do lsmod|grep snd again. If still nothing shows up do
dmesg|tail -20
and look for error messages from the attempt to load the sound card driver.
Maybe you do not have a CS4236 sound card?
If you now have snd- modules loaded, try alsamixer to turn on the volume
(it is always off by default) and then use aplay and arecord.
