Hi Mikael.
The first thing I'd check out is the alsamixer settings to see if anything is muted or sliders need pushing up to get some sounds. F8, 9, and 10 have Pulseaudio installed as a soundserver, and if you open a terminal/Konsole, and just type alsamixer as user, you will no doubt only see the Pulseaudio volume control. Open alsamixer as below, and you should see all controls for the soundcard.alsamixer -D hw:0
Check for muted controls (the M key toggles mute/unmute), and push up any sliders like, Master, PCM, Front, CD. These are the usual ones that enable you to get sound output.
Also. as you have more than 1 card listed, it may be worth disabling Pulseaudio, as I believe it can have problems when there is more than 1 soundcard. You can do this with the following command after su'ing to root.yum remove alsa-plugins-pulseaudio

Please post your reply beneath mine, not at the top, and also make sure you don't only reply to me, but also CC the alsa user list, as there may be others that can help you with your problem.
All the best.
Nigel.
If the reply that came to me didn't also reach the list, the link to the output of alsa-info.sh is below.
