[alsa] no soundcard detected (solved)

Hi,

I have a strange problem with alsa and my soundcard .. My mobo is a NForce 4, so the "soundcard" is a AC'97 chipset, the driver is snd-intel8x0.

I have it to load on the startup via /etc/rc.conf, doesn't load .. I modprobe it, no result .. and ls -l /dev/sound only returns "seq" and "timer" ..

My kernel is the arch one, not a custom one ..

EDIT: i have installed the nforce package too. And i have sound with arts o_O

ANSWER: conflict between nvsound and snd-intel8x0, removing one solves the problem

had the same prob
changed driver to nvsound, i think it has to do with a error message at startup, i did not have time to resolv it, so i switched to nvsound.

I made the opposite: removed the nvsound driver. So, must be a conflict between the two.

Thanks ^^
