[SOLVED] Can't get sound working.
The system has onboard sound (EliteGroup GeForce6100SM-M motherboard) which I am not interested in, instead I would like to use my PCI card (Sound Blaster Live! 5.1), but I cannot get either working. And yes, I've already confirmed I am in the "audio" group, and logged out and in since... 
I get the following during boot:
[ 4.173534] emu10k1-gp: unable to grab region 0xfdf00020-0xfdf0002f
[ 5.453359] AC'97 0 access is not valid [0xffffffff], removing mixer.Here's what happens when I try setting up ALSA, along with the troubleshooting output as requested on the Arch Wiki's ALSA page:
$ alsamixer
cannot open mixer: No such file or directory
$ alsaconf
alsaconf: command not found
$ amixer
amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such file or directory
$ lsmod | grep '^snd' | column -t
snd_emu10k1 137365 0
snd_util_mem 2360 1 snd_emu10k1
snd_ac97_codec 114391 1 snd_emu10k1
snd_hwdep 6389 1 snd_emu10k1
snd_rawmidi 19458 1 snd_emu10k1
snd_seq_device 5300 2 snd_rawmidi,snd_emu10k1
snd_pcm 74780 2 snd_ac97_codec,snd_emu10k1
snd_page_alloc 7153 2 snd_pcm,snd_emu10k1
snd_timer 19544 2 snd_pcm,snd_emu10k1
snd 59214 7 snd_timer,snd_pcm,snd_seq_device,snd_rawmidi,snd_hwdep,snd_ac97_codec,snd_emu10k1
$ ls -l /dev/snd
total 0
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 1 Mar 26 21:40 seq
crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 33 Mar 26 21:40 timer
$ aplay -l
aplay: device_list:252: no soundcards found...I have tried manually loading the appropriate modules, adding the ALSA Wiki's "Setting up modprobe" block o' text to my modprobe.conf, and reinstalling alsa-utils/alsa-oss/linux. I've tried every bit of troubleshooting I can find, at least the ones that don't already assume I can start alsamixer in the first place. Anything obvious I've missed?
Thanks!
EDIT: Disregard, moved the card to my other PCI slot and it works fine now.
