[SOLVED] alsamixer - cannot open mixer: No such file or directory

Since some days I get strange boot messages. Also sound does not work any more. Even without starting xserver there is no sound available. The command "alsamixer" is not available any more. Very strange.

I put the whole dmesg output until the system is booted here: http://pastebin.com/wQ6fqSNC

The relevant part seems to be this one (That's what I think, so if you can not find interesting info here please check out the whole dmesg on pastebin above):

Suggestions what's going wrong? I found this thread (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=148033) but the problem described there seems to be pretty old.

Re: [SOLVED] alsamixer - cannot open mixer: No such file or directory

I now updated to systemd as my system was still running on init. Unfortunately this did not solve my problem.

This is now dmesg output: http://pastebin.com/GFNNLGrw

Also alsamixer does not work any more (did not work before the switch to systemd as well):

[i42n@ws-st ~]$ alsamixer 
cannot open mixer: No such file or directory

Any ideas?

PS: I am actually in the group "audio" with my user.
