I had a similar problem with a fresh install 7.10

I tried a lot suggestions but found that once I copied

.asoundrc 
.asoundrc.asoundconf


from an older install that the sound work perfectly...I'm not sure if
just copying/creating an .asoundrc would help or not

I know ALSA isn't supposed to need them...but it is something that
worked for me


my .asoundrc reads
-----------------------------

# ALSA library configuration file

# Include settings that are under the control of asoundconf(1).
# (To disable these settings, comment out this line.)
</home/XXXX/.asoundrc.asoundconf>
