[Alsa-user] Help with module loading

[Darrin Smith]

I just upgraded my kernel from a 2.4.20 to a 2.6.2.  I was using OSS 
previously, but really wanted to move to ALSA.  I used the ALSA drivers 
in the kernel and everything works fine - except my headphone jack.  I 
have a laptop and the internal speakers work just fine, but I can't get 
any sound out of the headpone/external port.  I think I know what the 
problem is and how to take care of it by using the amixer or alsamixer 
programs.  The problem is that amixer and aslamixer don't work.

When I run amixer I get: amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such 
file or directory

And with alsamixer I get: alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for 
default: No such file or directory.

I am almost sure I am getting these because my sound card module is 
loading before my aliases are assigned.  I understand that the new 
kernel module utilities uses  modprove.conf.  Here is the pertenint 
contents that I currenlty have:

alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
alias snd-slot-0 snd-intel8x0
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
I think these are okay, because if I do a modprobe snd-card-0, I get 
this error:
FATAL: Module snd_intel8x0 already in kernel.

Does anyone have any ideas?
