[SOLVED]Sound Card No longer detected after pulseadio install

I recently installed pulseaudio and after the install my /var/lib/alsa/asound.state file was deleted or moved, anyhow now neither pulseaudio or alsa recognize my sound card. Is there a way to regenerate the original asound.state file ? i've already tried alsactl store but alsa apprently can't find my sound card anymore.

SOLVED: apparently the modules for the sound card were unloaded I don't know what caused it but it was sure annoying

SOLUTION:

       modprobe snd-hda-intel ; modprobe snd-pcm-oss ; modprobe snd-mixer-oss ; modprobe snd-seq-ossa

Of course the modules you load will depend on your particular system, I happen to be using the Acer Aspire One netbook so I had an intel hda audio card

Acer Aspire One
120Gb HDD
1024mb ram
Intel N720 1.6ghz

Did you also install pulseaudio-alsa?

Re: [SOLVED]Sound Card No longer detected after pulseadio install

yes i assumed it would be necessary for integration, am i to understand this was the root of the problem ?

ok so i was reading a gentoo forums post and decided to follow some of the fact finding there and came to some good information.

sound card is not found in /proc/asound/cards

sound card isn't in /dev/ anywhere

so it seems like it just up and disappeared
