Hi,
I am trying to unable to configure my sound card on debian. The sound system that I have is Terratec SiXPack 5.1+. There is no sound on my system and on running alsamixer I see the following ouput:
alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
Doing lspci | grep audio says:
01:0a.0 Multimedia audio controller: Cirrus Logic CS 4614/22/24/30 [CrystalClear SoundFusion Audio Accelerator] (rev 01)
If I run alsaconf, the driver for the card is not listed (as per the
http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-cs46xx, it should be cs46xx). Choosing any of the listed driver doesn´t help either and gives the following output:
-------------
Unloading ALSA sound driver modules: snd-bt87x snd-pcm snd-seq snd-timer snd-seq-device snd-page-alloc.
Building card database...
Loading driver...
Setting default volumes...
amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such device
Saving the mixer setup used for this in /var/lib/alsa/asound.state.
/usr/sbin/alsactl: save_state:1497: No soundcards found...
===============================================================================
Now ALSA is ready to use.
For adjustment of volumes, use your favorite mixer.
Have a lot of fun!

I tried installing module-assistant and then using the command
sudo module-assistant -t a-i alsa-source
I built the alsa. I am not sure if I need to do anything else apart from this for building alsa with module-assistant. I tried running alsaconf but I don´t see the driver for cs46xx listed. I have tried building the module myself as per the instructions on
http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-cs46xx but only for alsa-driver with the following command:
./configure --with-cards=cs46xx --with-sequencer=yes ; make ; make install
And then if I try to do modprobe snd-cs46xx, it complains that this module doesn´t exist.
Doing lsmod | grep snd gives the following output (when with alsaconf, I chose the cs4232 as the driver).

I am not sure what is it that I am doing wrong.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
