for me is:

and I need to unmute the Master and first PCM controls (sliders 1 and
3, from the left, starting to count at 1).
I unmute slider 1 (MASTER) but is blocked to zero
I unmute other and select high volume
I think MASTER is blocked because command alsaconf no found my soundcard
error is: No supported PnP or PCI card found
so I installed alsa-driver-1.0.9rc4a (this is not included into BLFS6.1)
but the result no change
It should be the kernel itself that recognises (or not) the soundcard.
I'd never heard of the Archie distro, but it seems to be a LiveCD -
maybe you could use it to get sound playing, note which modules were
loaded, and perhaps note any alsa conf file ?
do you know where ALSA store soundcard database ?
Can I add by hand via82xx ?
That would be the alsa.conf file or whatever it's called - as I think I
said, I don't have this on my boxes.
I can remember a chip on another box (possibly via) that could *only*
play 48KHz samples, not 44.1KHz (like CD) files - the quote from your
dmesg sounds a bit like that - are you using a sound file that you know
worked when you were running the Archie distro ?
yes,
I try to play a lot of mp3, no sound
To debug what is going on, it's _a_lot_ easier to use a wav file - mp3s
introduce more software (to play them - aplay can't make sense of them)
and the possibility of /dev problems. For userspace applications,
strace is sometimes helpful to find what is going on - it _might_ be
able to tell you what files are being accessed (or not), but for the
kernel-level part of alsa I doubt it will help.
