Hi Pithball,

[root at localhost etc]# ./init.d/alsasound stop
Shutting down sound driver: done
[root at localhost etc]# lsmod | grep snd
snd_page_alloc         10632  0
[root at localhost etc]# modprobe snd-rawmidi
[root at localhost etc]# lsmod | grep snd
snd_rawmidi            24960  0
snd_seq_device          8844  1 snd_rawmidi
snd                    53124  2 snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_device
soundcore              10464  1 snd
snd_page_alloc         10632  0
[root at localhost etc]# alsamixer

alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
[root at localhost etc]# cat /proc/asound/cards
--- no soundcards ---
 
Nothing got added to dmesg or /var/log/messages.

I tried several other modules too. Some let me open alsamixer but
give the same result (no master volume). I'll try some more, because
I thought I've seen one that gave more items in alsamixer.
