I had a similar problem when I upgraded to etch. I'm not sure if this was
mentioned yet, but what I had to do was:
1. Run alsaconf
2. Run alsactl store
3. Add my soundcard kernel module in /etc/modules, so that the module would
be loaded at boot. In my case I added the module snd_cs4236.
I know that's frustrating - took me a few weeks before I had it figured
out. Best of luck.
