So I was following the wiki article about ALSA, but after installing alsautils and launching alsamixer it complained that "This sound device does not have any controls." So I figured the module wasn't working, and indeed, after entering lsmod I got this output:

Code:
Module                  Size  Used by
nvidia_modeset        724201  3
nvidia               9956575  59 nvidia_modeset
ath9k                  82540  0
ath9k_common           22451  1 ath9k
ath9k_hw              405804  2 ath9k_common,ath9k
ath                    18619  3 ath9k_common,ath9k,ath9k_hw
x86_pkg_temp_thermal     4727  0


No snd-hda-intel driver. Naturally, I tried to load it through modprobe, but I was greeted with this error:

Code:
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'snd_hda_intel': Exec format error


I'm quite desperate, I tried already compiling the driver as a module or directly into the kernel (along with all the codecs available, although I only need the Realtek one). This is the output of lspci | grep 'Audio':

Code:
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05)
01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GF108 High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1)


and cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#0 | head:

Code:
Codec: Realtek ID 892
Address: 0
AFG Function Id: 0x1 (unsol 1)
Vendor Id: 0x10ec0892
Subsystem Id: 0x8086200c
Revision Id: 0x100302
No Modem Function Group found
Default PCM:
    rates [0x5f0]: 32000 44100 48000 88200 96000 192000
    bits [0xe]: 16 20 24


Relevant post. I read it, but still don't know what to do.

Do you have a boot partition? Is it always mounted in the /boot directory when you install a kernel? If you try to load a module from an other kernel compilation into the running kernel, you can have this exec error message. Be sure that the modules you modprobe have been compiled for the running kernel.
