help me get sound.

i set the ALSA_CARDS varialbe to au8830 and have snd_au8830 compiled into my kernel as a module and alsa is compiled as a module. in the past this has proven the only way to go.

i emerged alsa-lib, utils, oss. alsa mixer only listed controls from my bt87x tv card. so i ran moduels update and restarted alsasound. now no controls are listed.

Code:
bash-2.05b$ alsamixer

alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device

bash-2.05b$ amixer
amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such device


i'm using udev. i modified /etc/modules.d/alsa as intstructed in the guide.
[code]
bash-2.05b# /etc/init.d/alsasound restart
* WARNING: you are stopping a boot service.

bash-2.05b#
[code]

udev is worse then devfs and lists 1500 devices in dev... devfs only listed 1000. in anycase you can be sure i have a /dev/sound or /dev/snd and many more things in /dev due to udev.

edit, i fixed it. i ran modules-update a second time and that did it. not sure why, but who cares.
