You don't seem to have an active USB audio card, so why is this module
loaded? Did you add it to /etc/modules? (The presence of this module
should not hurt, but it is better if we understand why it is loaded.)

This looks OK.

That all seems to be fine, so what is the problem, the volume level?
I would log in at a terminal without starting X (or without logging in
with [xkg]dm if you normally use graphical login), and then run
speaker-test -t sine
If that starts without errors, keep it running, go to another terminal
(e.g. CTRL+ALT+F2), log in and start "alsamixer". Experiment with the
volume levels (CURSOR UP/DOWN and LEFT/RIGHT), especially "Master" and
"PCM", until you hear the sound from speaker-test at an adequate volume.
(Use ESC if you want to exit alsamixer.)
Does that work?
