Yes, but really was it an alsa util you used, lsmod or looking at /proc ?

I suggested grep snd so that we would get sound related modules, not the
whole thing. It's just faster to look at the reduced version. I can
however see all the modules seem to be linked up.

Given that your asking for help, I probably won't be going searching
sites to try to find appropriate info; I'll ask you to, or you could
offer that info, and hence we know what you've tried.

One of many paste-bin web sites. These allow anonymous (you do need to
supply an email address that is used to limit bad usage of the site)
text upload site. It's really just a holder for bits of text from logs /
compiles etc that would unnecessarily fill up mailing list user's email
boxes.
http://fpaste.org is targeted towards Fedora users.

That's the point of the paste-bin, we don't really want large log files
in our email boxes.

Yeah, that didn't work out well:
Your ALSA information is located at
http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=23db04e4a7aeaa23357d00481f38b86638e90b21
Please inform the person helping you.

Well it normally pastes to the alsa project pastebin, and gives the link
(which worked for me). I'm guessing your internet/web access is normal,
so perhaps this is further indication of something going wrong during
alsa calls ?

has a --help capability:
alsa-info --help
shows a debug option, that stores the large alsa log on your local
disk so that you could manually put it on a pastebin, and post the link
back here.

Bugger.

If pulseaudio wasn't running, I think you would get a different error like:
$ alsamixer
E: socket-client.c: socket(): Address family not supported by protocol

Mine:
$ alsaunmute
Unknown hardware: "CA0106" "" "" "" ""
Hardware is initialized using a guess method
$
I guess aplay wont work either ?
alsamixer -c0 ?
ps aux|grep -E 'pad|pav|pul'
I'm assuming playback is a problem as well, not just mixer control ?
Do you have the option to try without the decoder card installed, for a
giggle ?
