Okay.
I just installed Linux Mint on my son's recommendation -- but still no sound.
Alsamixer shows every slider up and un-muted.
Here are the results of lsmod:

OK, look at alsamixer in a terminal window and see if every slider is up an
unmuted.
You do have something loaded.
Also lsmod|grep snd
will show which modules are loaded.
