no sound / ALSA after upgrade to kernel 2.6.15.4-1 - SOLVED

Hi,
just upgraded to 2.6.15.4-1 and my sound won't work. (Nvidia nforce 2).

Alsamixer says no card installed. I'm not sure where to start and don't want to make a mess of things.  Anyone have any ideas??

Thanks,

Jim

do you have added MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes" to rc.conf?

OK,,

Decided to try the fixes suggested in the order received. The first one worked. I just commented out the two OSS compatability lines in modprobe.conf and rebooted and everything is ok.

Thanks,

Jim

What about soudblaster live???
It doesn't work with kernel 2.6.15 alsa modules, there was another thread about it here, i've solved the issue just downgrading to kernel 2.6.14 but now i needed to upgrade it again because of the new udev and i've back with no sound at all....

Ok, I need some help here. My ssoundcard is an intel ac97 (i810) , module snd-intel8x0. Here are my configurations:

lsmod | grep snd
snd_seq_oss            33408  0 
snd_seq_midi_event      6400  1 snd_seq_oss
snd_seq                51984  4 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event
snd_seq_device          7436  2 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq
snd_pcm_oss            50848  0 
snd_mixer_oss          17920  1 snd_pcm_oss
snd_intel8x0           30620  0 
snd_ac97_codec         95136  1 snd_intel8x0
snd_ac97_bus            2176  1 snd_ac97_codec
snd_pcm                84100  3 snd_pcm_oss,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec
snd_timer              22148  2 snd_seq,snd_pcm
snd                    49124  9 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_timer
soundcore               8160  1 snd
snd_page_alloc          8840  2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm

/etc/modprobe.conf
# OSS Compatibility
#install snd-pcm modprobe -i snd-pcm ; modprobe snd-pcm-oss ; true
#install snd-seq modprobe -i snd-seq ; modprobe snd-seq-oss ; true

# --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
# --- ALSACONF version 1.0.10 ---
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0
# --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---

/etc/rc.conf
MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes"
MODULES=(usbserial nvidia snd-intel8x0 snd-pcm-oss)
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng !hotplug !pcmcia network netfs crond nvidia cups samba xinetd alsa)

The mixer settings are unmutted. But still, no sound

What am I doing wrong?
