First of all, thank you for your fast answer. I've seen you have declared (in your /etc/modules.conf) your main soundcard as an "snd-emu10k1". This have turned me happy, because I've thought I was wrong when I choosed the "snd-intel8x0" module to drive my soundcard. So, I tried to "modprobe" the emu10k1 module, but this failed too. Moreover, I'm unable to understant why the "snd-emu10k1" don't appear in your /proc/modules listing and, instead, does the "snd-intel8x0" (which is the one I've tried to load)
But you tell me you have two D845BG motherboards with sound working on it. Great! Now I know there _is_ some solution to my troubles. Perhaps a little more knowledge about your motherboard BIOS setting may help me (boot to PnP OS?, output of "lspci"...)

I've managed myself to put ALSA to work in another PC (older), with OSS emulation, with no great problems.
