sound adventures are a non starter

[Waring.. lots of output below]
I haven't used sound for a very long time, but decided to try it out
for some video/audio editing I need to do.
I can't get any sound but It seems my card is detected:
This is an earlier p4 with onboard sound by way of:
SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio
ac97 intel compatable
I'm running kde-3.2 desktop on core2 t1 kernel 2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1
Dmesg's from a fresh boot up don't show anything I recognize about
sound. However running `system-config-soundcard' finds:
Vendor: Intel Corp
Model: 8801BA/BAM AC/'97 Audio
Module: snd-intel8x0
And having run system-config-soundcard inserts these modules:
snd_mixer_oss 16896 0
snd_intel8x0 34088 0
snd_ac97_codec 56712 1 snd_intel8x0
snd_pcm 97288 1 snd_intel8x0
snd_timer 29828 1 snd_pcm
gameport 5504 1 snd_intel8x0
snd_page_alloc 11780 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm
snd_mpu401_uart 9216 1 snd_intel8x0
snd_rawmidi 26528 1 snd_mpu401_uart
snd_seq_device 8456 1 snd_rawmidi
snd 50532 8 snd_mixer_oss,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pc
m,snd_timer,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device
soundcore 10336 1 snd
But clicking on the `test sound' button has an interesting effect:
syslog prints (sorry for the verbosity):

No sound plays and control of the dialog is lost. That is, it never
returns to user.
Clicking on the upper right [X] (kill) finally brings up a dialog that
allows user to kill system-config-soundcard.
I'm sort of lost as to where to go from here... I'm not used to even
worrying about sound.
/etc/modprobe.conf contains these lines:
alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0
install sound-slot-0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install sound-slot-0 && /bin/aumix-
minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
Trying to look at aumix from a root terminal hangs the terminal at:
# aumix <RET>
<hang>
^C or ^D will not break it loose
