I missed this initially: Where does the 2.6.23 kernel come from? Did you
check if the problem is also present with a normal Debian kernel?

I would like to see the output of

lspci | egrep -i 'audio|s(ou)?nd|media'

That looks OK on first sight, assuming you indeed have an intel8x0 card.
I would now be interested to see the output of these two commands:

cat /dev/sndstat
cat /proc/asound/cards

Also, with which application(s) do you have problems? What happens if
you try the basic ALSA tools, e.g. if you run "speaker-test"?
