16 The drivers for your sound card are not loaded.

29 This would be handled by alsaconf, or manually by you in alsamixer, but
30 your card is not found or loaded so naturally alsasound has nothing to
31 work with.

40 This last instruction was incorrectly formed; the syntax is
41
42 rc-update <action> <service> <runlevel>
43
44 So it should have been
45
46 rc-update add alsasound boot
47
48 but that won't help if alsaconf has not succeeded in finding your sound
49 card in the first place.
50
51 Have you modprobed the appropriate modules for your motherboard and/or
52 sound card before attempting to run alsaconf?
