Right.
So, I installed ALSA, and fully followed the wiki's instructions to no avail. On a previous install on another computer, I was able to fix the problem by installing Pulseaudio, and so I did it again on my current comp. I got sound on this computer on a singular occasion after the Pulseaudio install, but now sound is gone again. Any idea why?
I am using compiz-standalone, and in my ~/.start-fusion.sh, I already have
pulseaudio --start
in it.
However, when I run pacmd list, it still states that there is no Pulseaudio daemon running. I have to start it manually in the end, and still, sound doesn't work.
I also noticed that when executing
$ fuser -v /dev/snd/*
$ fuser -v /dev/dsp
/dev/dsp does not exist.
asound.conf is already to let pulseaudio be the default device, and everything in alsamixer is unmuted. I have also installed alsa-plugins, so there, really, should be no reason why pulseaudio, and sound in general doesn't work.

When you run pavucontrol what shows? In general if alsa doesn't work Pulseaudio won't (its just on top of alsa anyway).

I'm not sure what volume control/mixer you are using but I installed pulse audio yesterday along with gnome-media-pulseaudio and through gnome's applet I was able to change my hardware's profile and manage to get sound and volume controls back hope it helps (i'm running compiz stand alone as well but have Gnome DE too)
