Do you have built-in sound /and/ a plug-in sound card? grep may have missed a
second device. Try using "lspci | grep audio" (lowercase "a") or inspecting the
full output of lspci [1].

Do you need to enable on-board sound in the BIOS?

If you have got an old sound card you could plug in, see whether alsaconf
detects that.

I believe that alsaconf used to have some problems in Etch. You could try
running the Lenny or Sid Debian Live CD to see whether up-to-date Debian
recognises your chip. [2]
