What I did was compile the kernel, alsa, and pcmcia packages using make-kpkg and the source packages. I have found with the 390E that this is flawless. You compile the packages, install them, and then use alsaconf to configure it for the sound card. On the 390E, this has worked everytime. On the 390X, Alsa found the sound card, configured itself, but things didn't work as well, obviously. So, I suppose it is possible that /etc/modutils/alsa might be incorrect, don't know for sure. Below is what I have in that file. If anyone thinks this is wrong for the 390X, I am open to all suggestions.
