I have the same problem with my onboard C-Media chip. Try downgrading
hotplug from version 0.0.20040311 to 0.0.20040105. If I do this, I'll
get ALSA back.
With hotplug 0.0.20040311, I get the following from dmesg when I do
"modprobe cmpci":
unable to grab ports 0xe000-0xe0ff
C-Media PCI: probe of 0000:00:0f.0 failed with error -16
One thing to note though is that it looks like the OSS driver gets
loaded instead. Can you play sounds through the OSS device?
It seems to me that the OSS drivers gets loaded first before the
ALSA drivers.
I'm planning to experiment some more before submitting a bug report.
