Description of problem:
I realise there are quite a few threads in various places devoted to
this particular topic, but after trawling them and trying everything I
could find, I have come to the conclusion that it is a rather esoteric
problem as OSS works fine, but alsa doesn't work at all.


kernel is:  2.6.8-1.521
soundcard is: onboard via Realtek VT8233/A/8235/8237


When trying to run alsamixer, the following error is displayed:

alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device


My /etc/modules.conf is set as such:

alias snd-slot-0 snd-via82xx <------- I have also tried this with
snd-card-0

install snd-via82xx /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-via82xx &&
/usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
remove snd-via82xx { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; };
/sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-via82xx


lsmod output:
