ALSA sound not working. "-2 file not found"?

I recently upgraded my system, changed some hardware and other things and now have figured out my sound is broken. Here is what I get:

[earlz@EarlzAlpha spotify]$ speaker-test 

speaker-test 1.0.27.2

Playback device is default
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 1 channels

I do not have anything in /etc/asound.conf or ~/.alsa. And all of my packages are up to date. alsamixer shows my sound cards. I see this in alsamixer:

<    │  │     │                      HDA ATI HDMI at 0xd0060000 irq 47  │             >
<    │  │     └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘             

I'm aiming to use the plain analog 3.5mm audio jack on my motherboard, not the HDMI support

Re: ALSA sound not working. "-2 file not found"?

 Do you still experience the problem? If so, read this thread. In your case, I am guessing upon your alsamixer "screenshot", modprobe options should be set to:

options snd-hda-intel index=1,0,2

 If that does not work, provide 'lspci -vvnn | grep -A 1 ''040[1-3]'.
 Should you consider this issue solved, then please mark the thread as such.
