No, do *not* remove alsa-lib or alsa-utils (they are core CentOS packages).
Have you rebooted since installing kmod-alsa as the kernel will need to
load the new drivers? If not, please reboot and retest.
If it's still not working after updating ALSA using kmod-alsa from
elrepo (after a reboot), then you might want to consider removing that
package as it hasn't fixed the problem in your case:
yum erase kmod-alsa
Hope that helps.
