I have the same motherboard and the on-board sound works fine with ALSA.

Your dmesg output shows half a dozen lines beginning via82cxxx.  I
believe these are from the kernel OSS drivers so you might want to
disable these first as thats probably causing this:

	VIA 82xx soundcard not found or device busy

(Although thats a guess I never tried the OSS driver myself)

The device outputs 6 channels make sure you set the *volume* and *unmute*
the necessary channels.

	Motherboard 	   Speakers		   ALSA Channel
	------------------------------------------------------
	line out	-> front left & right	-> surround
	line in  	-> rear left & right	-> surround
	mic		-> center 		-> center 
	mic		-> lfe			-> lfe

Use alsamixer (or alsamixergui for X11) to adjust the channels as aumix
doesn't seem to show all the channels.
