Problem with alsactl: No soundcards found

[Hanxue Lee <leehanxue@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I keep getting this message when I run alsactl:

alsactl: load_state:1134: No soundcards found..

I have already chosen the correct module: intel-8x0

I manually load the module with:

# modprobe snd-intel8x0

lsmod shows that the necessary modules are loaded. When I run "alsamixer", I get
alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device

Below is the content of /etc/modutils/alsa:



alias char-major-116 snd
alias char-major-14 soundcore

options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1   \
     snd_device_mode=0660 snd_device_gid=29 snd_device_uid=0

alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
#alias snd-card-0 snd-dummy
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
#alias snd-card-1 snd-serial
#alias snd-card-2 snd-share
#alias snd-card-3 snd-virmidi

alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-slot-1 snd-card-1
alias sound-slot-2 snd-card-2
alias sound-slot-3 snd-card-3


Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong?


Thank you in advance.


Yours truly,
