The '/dev/dsp not found' message is slightly misleading in this case,
since it's not the /dev/dsp file that missing, but the device to which
it points. So you don't need to run sndconfig again.
What you do want to do is to add 'modprobe snd-intel8x0' to your init
files. You'll also probably want to include the OSS compatibility, so
add 'modprobe snd-pcm-oss' as well. Since I run Slackware, the file I
modified is /etc/rc.d/rc.modules, but distros like RedHat may have a
different name for the equivalent file.
You can also include the unmuting commands in an initialization script.
In /etc/rc.d/rc.local, I have:
[ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.asound ] && /etc/rc.d/rc.asound
Then, in the executable file /etc/rc.d/rc.asound I have all of the
commands needed to unmute and set the default volume for my mixer
devices:
# /etc/rc.d/asound
# ALSA initialization file
# Automatically unmute all channels upon boot
echo "Unmuting audio channels..."
amixer set 'Master' 80% unmute >/dev/null
amixer set 'Master Mono' 80% unmute >/dev/null
