no sound

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.

Re: no sound

Is your user in de audio group?

# gpasswd -a USERNAME audio

Log your user out and back in to ensure the audio group is loaded.

Re: no sound

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

Re: no sound

Hmmzz I see (read tongue) that you use gnome etc.

What happens when you open in a terminal (not in gnome) alsamixer?

$ alsamixer

Re: no sound

Can you post the output of "lsmod | grep snd" and "cat /proc/asound/cards" ?

Re: no sound

"lsmod | grep snd" gave nothing and "cat /proc/asound/cards" gave

cat: /proc/asound/cards: No such file or directory

Re: no sound

does "modprobe snd_intel8x0" work? Then what do you get from "lsmod | grep snd" and "alsamixer"?

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.

Re: no sound

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!
