No, that's not what I'm looking for. snd_pcm is a generic kernel module
for handling wave audio. But it needs a specific sound card driver
to talk to. I'm talking about the column labels in alsamixer.
Something is puzzling me about the output of lsmod. Two of the loaded
modules, snd_intel8x0 and snd_ca0106, appear to be primary sound card
drivers. But you only have one sound card, right? I checked the aliases
of the two modules to see if there were any that were the same, but they
don't seem to have any aliases in common. Hmm...
Please provide the following additional information:
1. The output of lspci
2. *All* the column names in alsamixer for the playback view.
Invoke alsamixer. Look in the
top left corner of the screen. It should have four labels: Card, Chip,
View, and Item. For example, on my Dell Dimension 4400 it says:
Card: SBLive! Value [CT4780]
Chip: TriTech TR28602
View: Playback
Item: Master
The value in the first three lines: card, chip, and view, will stay the
same as you move from column to column, but the value in the fourth line,
item, will change as you move from column to column. (You move from
column to column by pressing the left and right arrow keys.) When you
first invoke alsamixer, you are on the far left column, which is usually
labeled "Master". Write down that column label. Then press the right
arrow key once. The cursored column will change and the value in the
"Item" field will change too. Write that column name down. The value
underneath the column may be abbreviated for space reasons, but the value
in the "Item" field at the top of the screen will contain the full-length
name. When the cursored column reaches the right-hand column and you press
the right arrow key again, the screen will scroll, revealing a new column.
Keep doing this and writing down column names until you can't scroll
right anymore. Then send me the list of names. As an example, here
are the column names for my SBLive! Value [CT4780] card with the
TriTech TR28602 chip:
Master
Headphone LFE
Headphone 1
Headphone Center 1
Tone
Bass
Treble
PCM <--- This is what I was talking about!
Surround

Wave
Wave Center

Video
Phone
IEC958 Coaxial
IEC958 LiveDrive
IEC958 Optical Raw
IEC958 TTL
PC Speaker
Aux

External Amplifier
SB Live Analog/Digital Output Jack
These are only the labels for the Playback view. I haven't
listed the labels that appear only in the Capture view.
Send the values listed for "Card" and "Chip" as well.
