Problems with snd-intel8x0

Problems with snd-intel8x0

[dlbarron]

First let me apologize if it is inappropriate to post this here.  I've been trying to get help on this problem on alsa-users and everyone on that list is as stumped as I am.
I have a home-bilt computer using an MSI 865PE Neo 2 motherboard.  I've booted with xnoppix and it detects the sound card as intel8x0, so that's what I'm trying to get going using alsa.  
I'm running LFS linux (www.linuxfromscratch.org) using kernel 2.4.25.  I tried OSS first, because of simplicity, and it works fine, so I know my hardware and permissions are correct.
So lately I've been trying to use alsa and I'm stuck.  I do not get any errors at all, in fact it looks like sound is working fine, but I never get a peep out of my speakers.
Let me also say, that I've gotten alsa working on my pc at work, using LFS linux, so I believe I know what I'm doing there.  Unfortunately that machine uses CS4236, instead of intel8x0.
What do I need to supply to help debug this problem?  I would assume you will need my modules.conf, but what else do you need to see?

I would really apprecieat any help at all.

Probably you didn't unmute and raise the volume of all appropriate
controls in alsamixer.

What codec do you have (second line at top alsamixer screen)?
What are the contents of /etc/asound.state after running
"alsactl store"?
