I found a few things that helped get sound working.
(1) run alsa-config, assuming you're using also, of course.
Sometime I had to rerun it every time I rebooted.
(2) If you are running alsa, make sure you do *not* have any OSS drivers
around. They can be blacklisted, or not installed, or whatever.
Alsa's OSS emulator is OK, though.
(3) When I upgraded to etch, the problems came back until I installed
udev, discover, and hotplug. These jountly seemed to recognise all
my hardware correctly and set up /dev. You probably don't need
hotplug for sound, though (it recognised USB things). I mention
it because I installed it at the same time, and you never know --
there might have been some arcane interaction.
