Alsa
Can't seem to get alsa to work. I know my card is detected...alsaconf sees it and everything, but when I try and run amixer I get:
amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such file or directory
If I try an play something I get:
aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
ALSA lib confmisc.c:768:(parse_card) cannot find card '0'
ALSA lib conf.c:3513:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_card_driver returned error: No such file or directory

Re: Alsa
Forget alsaconf. Post 'cat /proc/asound/cards', 'lspci' and MODULES from rc.conf. Plus anything you might have done in /etc/modprobe.d or /etc/modprobe.conf.

Re: Alsa
I've found that running alsaconf on a current system breaks my sound until I re-insert all my sound modules (or just reboot). So I'd check that before doing any further troubleshooting.
Also, did you blacklist snd_pcsp from MODULES? That's the most common problem people seem to have nowadays.

Re: Alsa
it's not alsaconf....the problem started before I ran that.
And so yeah I've rebooted, still nothing

Re: Alsa
Would happen to have a USB microphone plugged in when you're trying to do this? If so, unplug it before your next restart and see if that magically fixes the problem.

Re: Alsa
ok I fixed it by just switching to pulseaudio =P.
Now that I've got sound working though, I noticed even though I plug in my external speakers, it still continues to play from the internal ones.
EDIT: nvm, fixed
