okay, is this a gentoo box, or slackware?
Don't know if you mistyped just here, or there, or both, but its:
modules-update
which is for gentoo (don't know about slackware)
if /etc/init.d/alsasound is not present, then just reload all the snd modules:
lsmod #then rmmod all the snd-modules - or just reboot.
Then try alsamixer....
