Ok I tried that it didn't work but I'm not certain that I did it right

I tried the sound card tool I selected the HDA-Intel sound card
I tried alsamixer in the terminal when I try to run it I get cannot open mixer: No such file or directory
sound still does not work

I am new to Salix and linux in general
after I installed salix on my laptop the sound has not worked alsamixer was working at first but it did not fix my sound problems now I just get this

cannot open mixer: No such file or directory

I searched but I couldn't find anything that would help me ...
