Description Michael Sullivan 2005-10-16 08:20:23 UTC 
I tried to install alsa.  My card uses snd-hda-intel.  I've run alsaconf and it
detected the card just fine and /etc/init.d/alsasound restarts fine, but when I
try to run alsamixer to unmute my card it always gives me this output:

camille ~ # alsamixer

alsamixer: function snd_mixer_load failed: Invalid argument


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
It should have opened alsamixer

I forgot to add that I'm using media-sound/alsa-utils-1.0.9a
Comment 2 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-10-17 04:24:52 UTC 
In-kernel alsa or alsa-driver ? 
 
dmesg says something ?
