[SOLVED] ALSA can't detect Intel ICH7 soundcard

Hello!
I know that this issue is common in these days but I can't find any solution to my problem.
And the problem is:

$aplay -l
  aplay: device_list:268: no soundcards found...

Additional information:
Sound card: Intel 82801GB ICH7 - High Definition Audio Controller

$lsmod | grep snd
  snd_hda_intel          36904  1 
  snd_hda_codec         150305  1 snd_hda_intel
  snd_hwdep               6340  1 snd_hda_codec
  snd_pcm                77709  2 snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_intel
  snd_page_alloc          7242  2 snd_pcm,snd_hda_intel
  snd_timer              18726  1 snd_pcm
  snd                    59141  5 snd_hwdep,snd_timer,snd_pcm,snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_intel
  soundcore               5450  1 snd

$lspci -v | grep -A7 -i "audio"
