All ALSA driver names begin with 'snd-'.  You don't have any ALSA
drivers loaded.

Load the appropriate ALSA modules.

To get help finding out which modules are appropriate, run alsaconf.

Arrange for these modules to be loaded at boot.  There are several
different ways to do this.

* Via hotplug   (Install the hotplug package.)
* Via discover  (Install the discover package.)
* Via initscript.  (Add the sound card driver module name to /etc/modules.)
