No sound with ALSA on Intel ICH5/ICH5R

Howdy.

I just installed Arch and can't seem to get sound working.. I have an Intel ICH5/ICH5R as displayed by lspci..

00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02)

cat /proc/asound/cards
1 [ICH5           ]: ICH4 - Intel ICH5
                      Intel ICH5 with AD1981B at irq 17

/proc/asound/card sees it and so does "alsaconf" but when I eventually go to use alsamixer..

# alsamixer

alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory

It displays ^ that. (Which is being run by root)

Any ideas? (I've seen a lot of people suggesting moving to OSS which would be a bother..)

Just in case anyone has the same issue as myself.. pcspkr and snd_pcsp were the main culprits for me.

After added !pcspkr !snd_pcsp to modules() in rc.conf all is fine.
