This is the working alsa.conf of my athlon mcp61 machine.
Could you try the following.
cd /usr/share/alsa
mv alsa.conf alsa.conf.original (_do_ _not_ delete it, just move it so
that you could copy it back in case required)
gunzip /path/to/download/alsa.conf.gz
mv /path/to/download/alsa.conf ./
restart machine.
