Here is a simple method that I use to get alsa working on my systems:
1. Put all these in a file, say sound, and move it over to /etc/modutils.
Next time the system boots, it is automatically appended to
/etc/modules.conf.
2. If you also have installed alsa-base and alsa-utils,
there will be an appropriate entry /etc/init.d/alsa. This would take
care of starting the sound server at bootup.
3. Use amixer to unmute the channels and set the volume levels. After
you are comfortable with the levels, use alsactl to store the
settings. Then on you do not need to woory about it.
4. If the alsamixer (cli) is not your cup of tea, use gamix.
Here is what I have as /etc/modutils/sound:
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-ymfpci
options snd-ymfpci snd_index=0 snd_id="Yamaha-YMF724"
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1
Change the ymf entries to your card definitions.
