hello.
well, subj.
as i understand, my sound card is found by the system, but alsa having trouble using it. when i try to run a game (for example) i got the following:
ALSA lib confmisc.c:769:(parse_card) cannot find card ''
ALSA lib conf.c:3510:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_card_driver returned error: No such device
ALSA lib confmisc.c:392:(snd_func_concat) error evaluating strings
ALSA lib conf.c:3510:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_concat returned error: No such device
ALSA lib confmisc.c:1251:(snd_func_refer) error evaluating name
ALSA lib conf.c:3510:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned error: No such device
ALSA lib conf.c:3982:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such device
ALSA lib pcm.c:2144:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default
and when i'm trying to open volume control in gnome:
no volume control gstreamer plugins and/or devices found/
alsaconf can't find any device either.
on ubuntu all worked out of the box, and on slackware i only needed to unmute.
what can be the problem?...
thx

Hello,
take a look to the wiki : http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Alsa
and put "alsa" to your DAEMON-List in youre /etc/rc.conf.

it is already there. but it fails to start. when i'm trying to start alsa manually, that is what i get:

yeah, my user is in the group. as i can understand, the problem is that my soundcard is not recognized...
when i open volume control i get this:
The volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. This means either that you don't have the right GStreamer plugins installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured.
and when i'm trying to test sound from gome sound control panel, i get this for both alsa and oss:
audiotestsrc wave=sine freq=512 ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink: Internal GStreamer error: state change failed. Please file a bug at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=GStreamer

Hmmzz I see (read ) that you use gnome etc.
What happens when you open in a terminal (not in gnome) alsamixer?
$ alsamixer

Can you post the output of "lsmod | grep snd" and "cat /proc/asound/cards" ?
Offline
"lsmod | grep snd" gave nothing and "cat /proc/asound/cards" gave
cat: /proc/asound/cards: No such file or directory
chown -R us /home/your/.base

does "modprobe snd_intel8x0" work? Then what do you get from "lsmod | grep snd" and "alsamixer"?
Offline
modprobe snd_intel8x0:
FATAL: Module snd_intel8x0 not found.
alsamixer:
alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
lsmod | grep snd: view prev post

modprobe snd_intel8x0:
FATAL: Module snd_intel8x0 not found.
O.K. It looks like you don't have the sound module available to load, have you done anything with your kernel, or your modules directory?
You should have a /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/sound/pci/snd-intel8x0.ko file, but it looks like you don't. That or your module dependancies aren't up to date. So
Try running "depmod -a" and then "modprobe snd-intel8x0" if that doesn't work you may have to reinstall the kernel26 package and reboot.

problem solved. maybe not the smartest way, but still... i just reinstalled arch with most of the packages selected (i also had problems running other apps). now it works fine.
thx all that helped

I think I found a similar problem. It appears after trying to configurate oss, which looks like it has deleted sounf file from kernel! Bad boy.
I reinstalled the kernel and I could modprobe snd_intel8x0 and sound is back!
