ALSA - Sound issues when upgrading (no sound)
Running Fedora 10 - via mythdora on a Abit KN9 Ultra motherboard with an AMD Athlon 3800 dual core processor.
I have an onboard motherboard soundcard and just got a Geforce 210 Video card that has audio built in (nvidia nforce 570 ultra chipset - and verified the audio codec chip says ALC883). I was trying to get the HDMI audio to work on the Geforce 210, so I saw that latest ALSA version was supposed to support this. So, silly me, installed version 1.0.22 from source since there was only 1.0.21 via yum. Since then, I can't get any audio to work. My aplay -L or -l are blank. If I use alsamixer, it shows HDA NVidia as the card and the chip as ALC883 but then says "this sound device does not have any controls." If I select sound card 1 instead of 0, it says same thing except chip is "Nvidia ID b".
My ALSA information file is attached. The only one difference with this file - I updated the alsa utilities to 1.0.22 also since I uploaded this.
Any help would be appreciated. I'd be happy just getting the onboard sound working again.
Thanks in advance.

You can try:
alsactl init
and if sound is still not available then:
alsaunmute
I can't see any problem with loaded drivers... Maybe another sound mixer application will work for you better, perhaps gnome-volume-control?

Thanks. I believe I know the issue now and it is with the ALSA driver. My specific card is unsupported (0x10de000b); however, I have seen e-mail traffic from the alsa development where this is being worked on for support. Hopefully, it happens soon.
