hoary has no sound

[solemneyed]

I've done some checking and I see that many have problems with audio, but my 
situation seems different; it's as if no audio devices are recognized at 
all. I have no Volume Control icon in the panel, nor can I add one. When I 
choose Applications | Sound & Video | Volume Control, I get an error: "No 
volume control elements and/or devices found." If I open up the Volume Meter 
instead, it's just a blank window.

Here's some of my system info:

1. Tried running alsamixer:
solemneyed at elysium:~$ alsamixer
alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or 
directory

2. output of lsmod:
solemneyed at elysium:~$ lsmod

I don't really know what if anything from this will be helpful, but I look 
forward to anyone's suggestions. I've tried replacing esound with 
polypaudio, but with no effect (I installed uninstalled the packages, but no 
more, so I don't know if there was some config file I should have changed 
also...
