[Alsa-user] Problems installing... any help?

[Eirik M. <xi...@xi...>]

I'm trying to install alsa0.9.0 beta5 on my Debian/testing system.
I'm using kernel 2.2.17, and installed the alsa*.deb packages
from debian/testing apt-sources. The alsa-driver I've compiled
myself. My soundcard is the SB Live 1024 Value. Now the problem:

After finishing alsaconf I get the following:

Starting ALSA sound driver (version 0.9.0beta5): (emu10k1)
Setting the PCM volume to 100% and the Master output volume to 50%
amixer: Mixer attach hw:0 error: No such file or directory
Could not initialize the mixer, the card was probably
not detected correctly.

lsmod reveals that all modules are loaded. The dev-files are
made and have the right types, eg. : 

crw-rw----    1 root     audio     14,  12 Jul 16 16:21 /dev/adsp0
crw-rw----    1 root     audio     14,   3 Jul 16 16:21 /dev/dsp0

When starting esd with alsasupport it doesn't work; here is a 
strace return:
...
open("/dev/aloadC0", O_RDONLY)          = -1 ENOSYS (Function not implemented)
open("/dev/aloadC0", O_RDONLY)          = -1 ENOSYS (Function not implemented)
open("/dev/aloadC0", O_RDONLY)          = -1 ENODEV (No such device)
open("/dev/snd/controlC0", O_RDWR)      = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
write(2, "amixer: ", 8amixer: )                 = 8
write(2, "Mixer attach hw:0 error: No such"..., 50Mixer attach hw:0 error: No such file or directory) = 50

Any suggestions as to what the problem is???
