On a Debian system, don't edit /etc/modules.conf. Your changes will be
overwritten sooner or later. Instead edit a file in /etc/modutils, in
your case I recommend /etc/modutils/sound, which is the file alsaconf
would creat. Add the following entries (if snd-intel8x0 is the correct
driver, use lspci and dmesg to get more information):
alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0
alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
options snd-intel8x0 snd_index=0 snd_id="ICH"
(I have no idea it the snd_id option is correct that way, I just took it
from your example above)
After making the changes, run update-modules. If you use kernel 2.6
instead of 2.4 (which you apparently do), edit /etc/modprobe.d/sound
instead. Make sure /etc/modprobe.conf is not present (remove it if the
file is there), and also make sure that hotplug, alsa-base and
discover1 are installed with the latest versions so that the OSS driver
are not loaded. Use lsmod to check if maybe this is the problem. I
think the OSS driver name is i810_audio.
