alsa - cannot execute alsamixer as user and no audio.

[NoSequel]

I just recently decided to install KISS Linux, and I'm running into an issue with ALSA.

Unable to execute alsamixer as my primary user.

Error:

ALSA lib conf.c:5111:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_card_inum returned error: No such file or directory
ALSA lib confmisc.c:422:(snd_func_concat) error evaluating strings
ALSA lib conf.c:5111:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_concat returned error: No such file or directory
ALSA lib confmisc.c:1334:(snd_func_refer) error evaluating name
ALSA lib conf.c:5111:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned error: No such file or directory
ALSA lib conf.c:5599:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such file or directory
ALSA lib control.c:1481:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL default
cannot open mixer: No such file or directory

However, whenever I try to execute alsamixer as root, it just executes perfectly fine.

No audio at all

I'm not entirely sure if there's anything wrong with my kernel configuration, or if it's related to something else. I've tried many different solutions I was able to find online, but none of them worked so far.

dmesg | grep snd output: https://termbin.com/w3el lspci -k output: https://termbin.com/p8xx

Any help would be appreciated!
