the settings whenever the soundcard you had wasn't autodetected . It had
already
settings for various chipsets which facilitated things sometimes.

Well as you suggested the output of lspci would be far more enlightening .
So i guess we will have to wait untill we see it .
I do not know if it's supported by Alsa so he'll just have to
