If you are running 2.4, then I think that you need to install alsa-
modules-2.4.27-2-686
. The modules are built-in to the 2.6 kernels.

Marc is correct. I had the same problem. With the 2.4 kernel you must
find the correct modules and load them. I never did get ALSA to work
properly under the 2.4 kernel. So, I am not the right person to help
further..... I solved my problems by moving to the 2.6 kernel, which,
as Marc said, has the modules built in.
