I have had the speaker plugged in and turned on all the time. Also I am not using devfs for configuring the devices.
Moreover everything works under Windows 2000 Also I used '-c 0' against '-c 1' in the earlier post. # amixer -c 0 set Line 80% unmute The ALSA sound driver was not detected in this system.

The problem turned out to be that the chipset would literally "disable" the sound ability if speakers weren't plugged into the sound connector on the motherboard. It sounds crazy, but its true and reproducable. When Alsa was started, it would say "No Codec available" or something similar without speakers plugged in. When speakers were plugged in, everything worked great. Hope this helps, Erik.
