aplay -l no soundcard found
cat /proc/asound/cards ---no soundcards---
lspci | grep -i audio audio device: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA)
It was working before a recent re-installation - the chipset is a Realtek ALC888B (I think it's an oddball but it usually works)
Couldn't find anything in the wiki or forums for "no soundcard found"
Thanks

Re: no soundcard found
I googled the card and some people seem to have the problem that something else is detected as the sound card; if it's anything like that, I think you can just select the right card in alsamixer.
Re: no soundcard found
At the time (previous install) the mixer would not start - Gstreamer no card found
Since then I re-installed and it seemed to find a card

Two devices show up in "System" "Alsa sound card"
Default - Use the default ALSA sound card
SB HDA-Intel-HDA ATI SB
The Mixer just shows Realtek ALC887-VD (OSS Mixer) and Sound does not currently work
When it was working (1st install) the Mixer also had HDA ATI SB as a choice
This was after I had added the file snd-hda-intel.conf to /etc/modprobe.d as mentioned in another post.
with the line "options snd-hda-intel mode=auto"
When I do that now I get a Gstreamer backend error when opening Mixer
I have installed mulitlibs if that makes a difference

Re: no soundcard found
fixed !!!!!!
looked at another post where someone added a line to the file created in
/etc/modprobe.d/snd-hda-intel.conf
the line in snd-hda-intel.conf is
options snd-hda-intel model=auto
NOT
options snd-hda-intel mode=auto
it's "model" not "mode" - forgot the "l"
I think I'll go to bed now
