Do you have the necessary sound driver module anywhere on your system? First you must 
determine if it is built ready to be used, and then you have to modprobe it so that it 
can interact with the base sound and soundcore modules to produce sound. I have found 
that the redhat-config-soundcard does not pick up my SBLive but the old 
/sbin/sndconfig does. Go figure. I bet that the config for your card failed and you 
are only assuming that it succeeded. The module for your card should be the 
via82cxxx_audio.o so load it manually (as root):

/sbin/modprobe via82cxxx_audio

and see if your soundcard comes alive. If it does, then the redhat-config-sound had 
failed. Just for kicks, you may want to try running /sbin/sndconfig to see how it 
does. It should not work for an onboard sound controller but then stranger things have 
happened.

You should add the following to your /etc/modules.conf:

alias sound-slot-0 via82cxxx_audio
post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || :

Beware the linewrap on the above. The first line aliases your sound module to 
sound-slot-0 and the following two lines save and reload your mixer settings on a 
reboot.

Give it a shot.
