wtf?
On a pure alsa system, you don't even need anything in /dev/sound, or any device nodes at all.
Those "dsp" nodes are oss only.
You also shouldn't need to provide any arguments to alsamixer, but you can use the -c flag to specify a sound card if necessary so try that.

sorry that was me just trying random things as well. Here is it without any arguments.

alsamixer -c 3 worked...
How can I make this device the default? Whenever I play a file using mplayer audacious ... I still get no sound (I did unmute the main and PCM channels).

With most if not all alsa apps you can specify the sound card to use (I know it works with alsa, mpd and audacious at least).
Setting this for each app would of course be a total pain, so have a look at /etc/modules.d/alsa, you should be able set it up so that the "3rd" sound card is identified as "snd-card-0", but I'm not sure as I've never used multiple sound cards in the one box before.

| I only have one sound card I really am confused as to why it is doing this. |

Okay, I think the problem may be all the other unnecessary alsa stuff you have in your kernel.
"CONFIG_SND_INTEL8X0" seems to be the right driver for your card, so you should try disabling all the other pci drivers, as well as all the generic drivers.
Before this though you should just try adding "alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0" to .etc/modules.d/alsa, that may be all you need.
You'll probably need to reboot for any changes to take effect, however the fact that you have alsa built into the kernel rather than as modules might prevent this from being effective.

I'm having the same issue with Virtual Midi Driver support compiled into my kernel as well as support compiled for intel audio.
I tried modifying /etc/modules.d/alsa specifying
| Code: | | alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0 |
and also | Code: | | alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel |
and then | Code: | | /etc/init.d/alsamixer restart |
after each change, but both attempts resulted in | Code: | # alsamixer

Running
aplay -l
will tell you all the ALSA playback devices on your system. It will allow you to see what cards 0 and 1 are.
If you want to change the order of the cards, it's a simple edit to /etc/modules.d/alsa
Append these lines:
options snd-<driver-name> index=0
options snd-<driver-name> index=1
0 being the first device, 1 being the second device. |

Mm, I just tried it myself. Those options lines don't work. Instead add index=0 to the end of this line:
alias snd-card-0 snd-<driver>
This works for me.
As for you mizery, can you tell us the output of lspci? |

Firstly, you have far too much stuff enabled. If you don't know which device you need to use, find out and get rid of the extra stuff. It messes things up, and can cause conflicts and other problems. It also wastes space.
Secondly, alsa works when the drivers are set up as modules, not compiled into the kernel, as you have done. Read the ALSA guide all the way through, then do what it says. If you can follow instructions, you will have sound.
Blessed be!
Pappy
