Carlo,
	You have to get your card working.  Nothing else will help until you 
can find the mixer settings and modules loaded that work for you.
If you are having problems doing that, I'd suggest removing the 
soundcard support from *all* of the configuration files and starting 
again from scratch.  Comment out the lines in modprobe.conf, remove the 
audio entry from /etc/sysconfig/hwconf.  If you have a 
/etc/sysconfig/soundcard file, delete it.  Reboot your system to let 
kudzu do the re-discovery of your sound card and attempt to re-install 
it (drivers, modules, etc).  If you have to, run system-config-soundcard 
(but I think it does not recognize the AC97 properly, which is why we 
added the modprobe.conf stuff by hand). But, whatever you do, get the 
sound card *working* again before saving the mixer settings with alsactl!
