Thanks to everybody for the help. Just as I thought - it was a stupid error. The m/board I am using used to be in a case with front mounted audio jacks. To enable these jacks required the removal of two jumpers from the audio header on the m/board. I am now using the same m/board in a case with rear mounted jacks, so I should have replaced the jumpers in order to re-route the sound to the rear of the case. I forgot - so no sound.
I still have one small problem however. The little alsa.dev script is not being read at boot time, which means I have to manually run alsactl restore every time I reboot. Does anybody have any ideas. I just cannot see why this is happening. Thanks in advance.
