Hmmm...
Did you use the ALSA-style audio device of the em8300 driver before?
The EM8300 chip has no hardware volume control so alsamixer is not
expected to find anything...
Well, not exacly in fact: if you have /usr/share/alsa/cards/EM8300.conf
installed (or wherever you preferred distro puts its ALSA configuration
files), you'll have software-emulated volume control. But unless I'm
mistaken, it requires that the PCM device is open (or has been opened).
What if you try to play some sound with
aplay -D default:CARD=EM8300
? (I hope the syntax is good, I'm still away from my H+ and DXR3
boards...)

This module option is now supposed to be a no-op...

Hmmm... Also that's unreated to sound, this is an interesting
information: it seems that your EEPROM chip did not acknowledge the i2c
communication... :-/

It's been (deliberately?) broken since the change of SourceForge's web
server... :-(
I moved this repository to
http://freehg.org/u/nboullis/em8300/
