Sound card not working

[bergnj]

I believe I am in ALSA hell. I have been reading the forums all day and
still cannot get my card to work. I have followed too many peoples
instructions to be sane.



I tried alsa-sources

I tried alsa-driver-1.0.9b



my lspci is:



0000:00:1b.0 0403: Intel Corp. 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) High
Definition Audio Controller (rev 03)



my 'lsmod |grep snd' is:



snd_azx                14944  0

snd_hda_codec          41216  1 snd_azx

snd_pcm_oss            47648  0

snd_mixer_oss          16768  1 snd_pcm_oss

snd_pcm                82184  3 snd_azx,snd_hda_codec,snd_pcm_oss

snd_timer              23300  1 snd_pcm

snd                    51300  6
snd_azx,snd_hda_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer

soundcore               9824  1 snd

snd_page_alloc          9604  2 snd_azx,snd_pcm



My laptop is a Sony VAIO VGN-S460



When I try to interact with ALSA like use my volume control I get the
message:



No volume control elements and/or devices found.



Could someone help me sort this out? Thanks
