Sorry to have hijacked this thread days later, but I basically have the
same issue and I can't work where I messed my sound up. I tried
reinstalling alsa-base but no sound.

I've got one of the SB EMU10K1X driver which just stopped working when I
upgraded my system to wheezy. I'm not sure what more information I need
to provide but when I do alsa reload I get this warning ;

I changed the sound file in /etc/modprobe.d to sound.conf. That file has
got this;
> alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
> alias sound-slot-0 snd-emu10k1

I'm on kernel 2.6.38. Would this be an issue? I'm not too sure what I
might have messed with but I desperately tried fixing this but I'm not
sure if I didn't cause the damage myself as I am on a tight time
constraint and just need my sound back.

I've also tried the Real-linux-audiopack-5.16 option suggested at
http://wiki.debian.org/ALSA but to no luck.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
