At this state I can't see a reason why gnome is wineing about a
incorrectly working sound daemon, because none is running? There are
two more possible sounddaemons:
artsd -> whis depends on kde
jackd -> which is HighTec sound daemon

To check it do:

# ps aux | grep art
# ps aux | grep jack


Colud you please switch to the console via <CTRL> <ALT> 1
login as user
run:
# alsamixer

Is the mixer shown? If not. check whether alsa-utils are installed.
Quit alsamixer
# <ESC>

Play a sound

# mplayer your_soundfile

Do you hear sound?

# adjust controls in alsamixer

# <CTRL> <ALT> 2
# alsamixer

Hopefully nothing is mutet. If so, go to the control and just hit m.

If you can hear sound, everthing should be ok.
