This does not seem like a viable solution.  On this computer I use Windows and
several other Linux distros that work well with my current BIOS settings,
including sound support.  It seems like a deeper issue with Ubuntu's kernel and
alsa-base scripts configuration.  I know a very little bit about the internals
of ALSA and Debian, so I don't mind sifting through available system resources
and manually modprobing things.  But the average user should not be asked to
adjust his BIOS when not necessary, and ideally his hardware should be detected
and configured.  MEPIS somehow does this with most ISAPnP cards.  If
autodetection scripts don't work, alsaconf should be available as a second chance.

In past versions of Ubuntu, I have found that the "alsa-base" files (of which
there are 3 or 4) need to be heavily edited in order for the modprobe to work. 
In addition, it is necessary to figure out the correct values for the modprobe
parameters.  In these areas I am totally lost.  Could we please try to approach
this bug from that angle?   Thanks very much.
