I have been setting up a new CrunchBang Linux and my sound doesn't work. When i type lspci -v comand and alplay -l comand in command prompt i can see that my sound card is connected and detected.

results:

ziga@ziga-laptop:~$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 0: HDA Generic [HDA Generic]
  Subdevices: 0/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

ziga@ziga-laptop:~$ lspci -v

Well i ve figured out that my audio card model is ATI SBx00 and i can't find it on www.alsa-project.org although my soundcard already worked with alsamixer when i was using Xubuntu 12.04. And it allso worked with previous versions of CrunchBang Linux. So i ve tried to reconfigure alsamixer by using comand alsamixer and i got only 2 sliders, like shown below.
