[Solved] No sound with a nVidia MCP51 High Definition Audio

Hello,
The sound doesn't work with my nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio sound card. I've installed the packages alsa-utils and alsa-oss.

$ lspci | grep Audio
00:10.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2)

$ aplay -l
**** Liste des Périphériques Matériels PLAYBACK ****
carte 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], périphérique 0: ALC883 Analog [ALC883 Analog]
  Sous-périphériques: 1/1
  Sous-périphérique #0: subdevice #0
carte 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], périphérique 1: ALC883 Digital [ALC883 Digital]
  Sous-périphériques: 1/1
  Sous-périphérique #0: subdevice #0

If I try alsaconf:

No supported PnP or PCI card found.

The sound works natively with Ubuntu. I use Archlinux 64 bits.

Thanks in advance

Are you using the nouveau (open source nvidia) driver? If yes, it seems that HDMI is not yet implemented: http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/FeatureMatrix

Thanks, but finally I just had to modprobe something and unmute "master" AND "front" with alsamixer.

As I am having the same issue after i upgraded to the newest kernel, could you elaborate on what exactly you had to modprobe?

I had the same issue today, sudo rmmod snd_hda_intel and then sudo modprobe snd_hda_intel and my sound card listed and worked again.
