Update: Whenever I run /etc/init.d/alsasound and it starts working, I get the following: /usr/sbin/alsactl: set_control:991: warning: name mismatch (SPDIF Playback Switch/Off-hook Switch) for control #3 /usr/sbin/alsactl: set_control:993: warning: index mismatch (0/0) for control #3 /usr/sbin/alsactl: set_control:1099: bad control.3.value index "lsmod" lists the exact same number of modules. Hope this helps someone narrow it down.
