No PCM mixer with Creative CA0106

I recently got a new computer from a friend. I use Arch as usual and everything is brilliant except for the lack of sound. For some reason, I get no PCM mixer and thus no sound. Drivers appears to load, devices appear but still there is no sound. My friend used to run Arch, and he did not have any troubles at all.

The sound card I have is a Creative Labs CA0106 Soundblaster built in to the motherboard (which is a MSI K8N Diamond MB). No other sound devices are present. I have installed alsa, alsa-oss and alsa-utils. I have not modified the kernel, and I currently run 2.6.32-ARCH.
In alsamixer, I get a Master mixer and several S/PDIF mixers. Since I don't have any coaxial equipment, I think they are of no help to me. From what I can see, there are devices beginning with pcm in /dev/snd (see link below). Also, the only unmutable channel is unmuted.

If I run mocp, it shows its internal mixer for PCM, but it's not working. When I run mplayer and try to change the volume, it says "[Mixer] No hardware mixing, inserting volume filter.  2%  2.3% 2 0 49%". Maybe it's worth noting "AO: [oss] 48000Hz 2ch s16le (2 bytes per sample)" there as well.
I have tried googling and searching these forums for these issues, but nobody seems to have the same problems that I do
Also, my speakers are working fine with other computers, so they are not an issue.

lspci, lsmod, /dev/snd, id and pacman -Sq alsa:

Anyone have any idea of what is going wrong? Any suggested solutions might help.
Thanks in advance.
