Hi

If I understand correctly, you've installed alsa and you have no output.
When you installed the drivers, it state that all the settings were
muted and that you'd need some mixer program to make your desired
settings.  You could get some sample asound files from speakup but it
depends upon what card, and what version of alsa.  The following
commands will get some sound.

amixer set Master 90% on
amixer set PCM 90% on

amixer | more

The above command will display the current settings of your available
devices.  From which you can use 'amixer set <simple mixer control>
<value> 

You'll have to read up on alsactl to store and restore.
