/etc/modules maybe? That file specifies what modules to load. You could also
try to move the modules in question out of the way (or even delete), same
goes for the ones that give you depmod errors.

No, soundcore ist just the generic sound support module, it is the same for
ALSA and OSS. Otherwise it all looks good to me. Just for comparison, here is
what 'lsmod | grep snd' gives me for my onboard Via:
snd_pcm_oss 53800 0
snd_mixer_oss 19712 1 snd_pcm_oss
snd_via82xx 29028 1
snd_ac97_codec 68868 1 snd_via82xx
snd_pcm 94756 2 snd_pcm_oss,snd_via82xx
snd_timer 24452 1 snd_pcm
snd_page_alloc 11720 2 snd_via82xx,snd_pcm
snd_mpu401_uart 7616 1 snd_via82xx
snd_rawmidi 24576 1 snd_mpu401_uart
snd_seq_device 8264 1 snd_rawmidi
snd 55268 15 snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_via82xx,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_mpu401_uart,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device
soundcore 9824 1 snd

Run alsamixer again and make sure that the channels are turned up AND unmuted
(press 'm' to toggle).
