Same configs, same modules loaded but now no sound - what can I check to
determine problem and find a solution?
no errors in logs or dmesg
      
I would suggest you start checking back through the changelogs between
kernel-2.6.18-194.el5 and kernel-2.6.18-164.el5, find likely candidates
that may have caused your issue and then rebuild a testing kernel with
that patch reverted. If that testing kernel fixes your issue then you've
identified the issue and can file a bug report upstream.

To start you on your way, this patch looks like a likely candidate for
you to investigate further:

* Mon Dec 21 2009 Jarod Wilson <[email protected]> [2.6.18-183.el5]
- [sound] alsa hda driver update for rhel5.5 (Jaroslav Kysela) [525390]
    

Rob,

I understand you have already tried a workaround reported in:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=586532
correct, I've had to use this on a number of nvidia based machines already (unfortunately).
In this instance it was no help - not surprising as it is not an nvidia controller but intel chipset albeit with an nvidia graphics chip.
Before I bother Gary I'll try to revert to a default centos kernel rather than the centosplus kernel just to be sure.
Will keep you posted.
According to comment #10 in there, Gary Gatling built a test kernel
with the above alsa patch removed. You might want to try asking him
for the kernel he built if you do not feel like building it yourself.
