debian-alsa bug?

Hi i'm trying to use alsa (alsa - alsa-base package) as my sound driver on a Dell Inspiron 8600, but nothing works. I've even compiled a new kernel 2.6.9, hoping that it would mysteriously fix the bug. When i run alsaconf it seems to be just fine, but i don't get any sound from any sound applicat
