Those are all VIA sound chips. Try deleting your sound device
completely then reboot. Reinstall the VIA chip driver which should
happen by default.

Next fire up the Mixer and set all volumes (most especially the Master
and PCM) to maximum and make sure the little green light is lit on all
of them.

Next in the Control Panel try setting Sound & Multimedia --> System
Notifications --> Player Settings and select Use the KDE sound system
and increase the volume to maximum. If you still don't get sound try
selecting the Use an external player and see if that helps or hinders.

If you are testing Midi you have to load Timidity or FluidSynth.
Currently, I can't edit or delete the sound in Yast. It ignores
clicking either one.

I am going to assume that this is a hardware failure and either replace
the mb or find a sound card that will work.

Try first to delete
/etc/modprobe.d/sound
once upon a time it was quick and dirty way to remove missconfigured card
from the system when YaST didn't want to do anything. Than reboot to remove
sound drivers from memory and run YaST again. Darrell explained that you
have to use sound mixer like Kmix to enable sound, otherwise there will be
no sound.

The mentioned Timidity has option to be run in server mode if you want to
play midi files, or use midi editors, but for the details I would have to
look in manual (but than you can do that too :-) )

Let me know how deleting and reconfiguring worked.
