System sounds before login may be happening without ALSA so at the
moment I'm not sure whether ALSA is working before login.
You could try speaker-test (ALSA white noise generator) to see if
ALSA is working before login (or aplay if you have something playable).
Let's check that ALSA is set to start automatically. Do you have
ls -l /etc/*.d/S*alsa*
You should have a link called something like /etc/rcS.d/S16alsa-utils
to /etc/init.d/alsa-utils.
