[alsa-devel] ALSA device list: No soundcards found.

when using any kernel(2.6.17-present) I see under dmesg: [ 2.702799] Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.18a. [ 2.711657] ALSA device list: [ 2.720204] No soundcards found.

how do I change this? i.g. ALSA device list: (some card name)

I have a macbook pro ATI chipset.
