Hi. I've got a little situation over here.
Every time I poll any software, it totally believes that the sound-card is installed and configured correctly and working. Nobody complains. But when I try to play sound, none comes out. People usually suggest the alsamixer, to make sure none of my channels are muted. Truly, none of them are muted.
Here's the vital stats:

Interesting pieces of dmesg [ 22.061858] ALSA /usr/src/alsa-driver-1.0.14/pci/hda/../../alsa-kernel/pci/hd a/patch_si3054.c:244: si3054: cannot initialize. EXT MID = 0000 [ 48.948578] hda-intel: Invalid position buffer, using LPIB read method instea d.
Am I missing any useful info? Kernel is 2.6.20-16
Alsa is a hand-compiled 1.0.14.
Thanks. --Ryan
