Try adding "alias snd-card-0 snd-atiixp" to /etc/modprobe.conf (comment out any existing "alias snd-card-0"). I think that's the chipset in that machine.

this is my modprobe.conf, there is alias, but still not working
----------------------------------
alias eth0 8139too

You have multiple entries for snd-card-0; remove the duplicates.

It looks like a recent kernel change (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=125873) broke the snd-atiixp driver. You can use an old kernel, or put yourself on the cc: list for that bug to get notification of the fix.
