does that have
any bearing on my problem?
You only need alsa-modules for 2.4 kernels. 2.6 kernels have alsa
drivers already included.
Do you have your card listed in /proc/asound/cards?
What sound chip is it? If it is an i8x0 ac97 chip, then try plugging
the speakers into the mic jack or other jacks and see if it helps, or
turn up the headphone volume. If any of that works, you need to go find
out which ac97_quirk option you have to pass to the driver for your
hardware.
