i have had many boxes in the past 2 months, all nvidia, witjh nforce2/AC97 and i usually just use alsa-driver ebuild with ALSA_CARDS="intel8x0" and it works, but i just got a new machine with what seems to be the same hardware as the rest:
| Code: | 0000:00:04.0 Multimedia audio controller: nVidia Corporation CK804 AC'97 Audio Controller (rev a2)
|
it does not work for me.
heres my kernel config (2.8.12-r10)
| Code: | <*> Sound card support
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture --->
Open Sound System --->
< > Advanced Linux Sound Architecture
< > Open Sound System (DEPRECATED)
|
heres my lsmod:
| Code: | snd_pcm_oss 51296 0
snd_seq_oss 34752 0
snd_seq_midi_event 7616 1 snd_seq_oss
snd_seq 55936 4 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event
snd_seq_device 8464 2 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq

Did you run
And have you looked at the output of dmesg after boot up and the tail -n 100 /var/log/messages for errors and warnings related to audio?

yes i did run alsaconf, and i still couldn't get alsamixer or amixer
alsamixer:
| Code: | | alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory |
amixer:
| Code: | | amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such file or directory |
dmesg:
| Code: | intel8x0_measure_ac97_clock: measured 49806 usecs
intel8x0: clocking to 46876
Losing some ticks... checking if CPU frequency changed.
|
i built it in my kernel as modules and i also tried leaving it out of my kernel and emerging alsa-drivers. same results.
would it help to compile these drivers into my kernel?

I'm helping him with the alsa problem and reached the dead end. I had the same problem with my alsa when trying to mix sounds.
Yes, we ran alsaconf. Detected card and all. It just doesnt find "alsamixer" or "amixer" even though it lists it.
Make.conf :
ALSA_CARDS="intel8x0"
So yup. We're stumped. I fiddled with my kernel and that fixed my issue, but when doing the same with his setup, albeit totally different cards, same results.

Have you tried not building into the kernel? I use the external drivers myself..

yes, my first post had my kernel config. support for sound cards, but alsa and oss not selected. is that what you mean?

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

Are you runing the tools alsamixer etc as regular users?
Are these users in the audio group?
