^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That should be /etc/modules.
What happens when you run alsaconf? Let it run all the way through, i.e.
let it probe for legacy cards, let it keep running, it has to probe irq
and dma channels.
If this doesn't work, you will need to get the irq and dma from the bios
and configure using the modconf utility.
Sorry I cannot remember the syntax for the parameter line. :-(
Ask here again if you get stuck, but please provide the results of what
you have tried.
