no sound after changing motherboard

i bought ASUS P5GC-MX a few days ago, and upgraded my configuration over already installed 32bit arch...
now I can't get integrated sound to work...

here's some outputs:

... what should I do?

Re: no sound after changing motherboard

Have you tried running alsaconf as root?

I've had no sound with intel boards before, and alsaconf fixed that.

Re: no sound after changing motherboard

hmm, alsaconf says "no legacy drivers are available" but I get this info when starting it:

# alsaconf 
modinfo: could not open /lib/modules/2.6.26-ARCH/modules.dep
modinfo: could not open /lib/modules/2.6.26-ARCH/modules.dep
modinfo: could not open /lib/modules/2.6.26-ARCH/modules.dep

and my kernel version is 2.6.27... o.O

Re: no sound after changing motherboard

How does alsamixer look?

I used to be surprised that I was still surprised by my own stupidity, finding it strangely refreshing.
Well, now I don't find it refreshing.
I'm over it!

Run depmod as root to solve this problem.
