Actually it should show all packages installed with apt. Synaptic itself is just a front-end for apt, I'm not sure what the software center does these days but I thought it would be using apt as well. Maybe not though. It's usually better to use Synaptic for managing packages anyway, the interface may be a bit more complex but it's also faster and more flexible than the software center.
I reinstalled the alsa-base package and that wouldn't take. Purged and reinstalled all alsa packages.
I assume there's no pulseaudio installed on the system? That would be the first thing I'd check when troubleshooting audio.

This surprised me a bit. I've got an AMD CPU with integrated graphics card(Trinity) but what's it got to do with audio! I'm trying to install the proprietary graphics driver.
I'm looking forward to the next long term stable release...
It has to do with audio in that newer GPU's these days include their own audio interfaces, for HDMI audio output. Can't be letting people use DRM-free audio interfaces, after all. People might start getting all kinds of crazy ideas about owning the music/movies they purchased...
Anyway, if all else fails, you could try a clean reinstall. I hope you have a separate /home partition?
