Installing a sound codec?[Solved]

Hello all,  I've been plowing through wikis and message boards and been able to solve just about every problem so far except getting my sound to work.  When the system starts I receive

Fatal: Module snd_hda_codec not found

I'm assuming this is the problem because I cross checked information with the archwiki under alsa and when I compare my lsmod to the one presented I'm missing a codec.

[justin@tuxbedroom ~]$ lsmod | grep snd
snd_usb_audio          88864  0
snd_usb_lib            16768  1 snd_usb_audio
snd_rawmidi            22944  1 snd_usb_lib
snd_hwdep               8968  1 snd_usb_audio
snd_hda_intel         325152  0
snd_seq_oss            32768  0
snd_seq_midi_event      7680  1 snd_seq_oss
snd_seq                55424  4 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event
snd_seq_device          7828  3 snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq
snd_pcm_oss            43936  0
snd_pcm                80904  3 snd_usb_audio,snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm_oss
snd_timer              22152  2 snd_seq,snd_pcm
snd_page_alloc          8720  2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm
snd_mixer_oss          16640  1 snd_pcm_oss
snd                    56808  11 snd_usb_audio,snd_rawmidi,snd_hwdep,snd_hda_intel,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer,snd_mixer_oss
soundcore               7840  1 snd
usbcore               130864  6 snd_usb_audio,snd_usb_lib,usbhid,ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd

My question to you all is how would I go about getting and installing this codec.  All my packages are up to date and it seems to recognize my device, it just doesn't have a codec.  Any and all help is appreciated.

If you need me to gather some more information just let me know how.  Being new to linux, I'm about one step above a monkey hitting random keys

Re: Installing a sound codec?[Solved]

I managed to get everything up and running after reinstalling alsa and running through the wiki once more.  I must of messed up something along the way the first time
