I did a fresh install, not an upgrade. After saying yes to the sound card working even though I did not hear anything, I cranked all the volume 
controls all the way up, enabled the sound server and system sounds in 
gnome, then rebooted. I did have system sounds then. 

Unfortunately I put that drive into another machine to see how a fresh 
install would work on it, so I don't have a module list for that 
machine. The machine I put the drive into has the Intel 845 chip set 
but it has a SoundMax ADI198x codec chip, so I'm not sure if it has 
the same modules. I had to mess around to get the volumes turned up and 
the sound server working, but I was getting the "jingle" when I shut 
down. I didn't have any music to play on that machine so I never tried 
to listen to any music.
