no sound in ubuntu command line

The module is on my machine. I did this command which I found on the web:

 find /lib/modules/`uname -r` | grep snd 

It gave a list of 257 modules including

 /lib/modules/4.4.0-36-generic/kernel/sound/pci/cs46xx/snd-cs46xx.ko 


Allow me to repeat that lspci shows my card but aplay -l says no soundcards.
This seems crucial to me, but I'm not sure why.
Alsa is just not seeing the card for some reason.

Hi,
I checked on my upgraded ubuntu 16.04 and the module is there.
Try and install the linux-image-extra-version where version is your kernel version.
I.E. at a terminal, do
sudo apt-get install linux-image-extra-`uname -r`
After that, the easiest is to restart, but you can try to modprobe the module in stead.
HTH, Willem
