You probably left some modules in /lib/modules and referenced in
/etc/modules.conf. See below.

ALSA requires a kernel compiled with sound support (but no specific
card modules). You probably compiled such a kernel and forgot about
it. Check your kernel configuration and rebuild if necessary.

Then remove your /lib/modules/X.X.XX directory (for your kernel
version number). Edit /etc/modules.conf and remove the entire ALSA
section. Then go back to /usr/src/linux and do: 

 make modules 
 make modules_install (as root)
