I downloaded 5.3 several days ago. What happened to me is when I loaded those sound modules (not add into kernel yet), it work. When I start X.org, the sound module didn't work suddenly. The sound disappered even the modules were loaded properly.

Are you using KDE?
    If so, KDE would be loading 'artsd' at startup, which is its daemon 
for sharing the same sound board among multiple KDE applications. 
Problem is, while that is running, the sound board is no longer 
available for non-KDE applications.
    Quick fix:
    $ killall artsd; mplayer / realplay / whatever

    Keep in touch.
