I had quite some trouble to keep my sound in debian. Not that it is hard to do, but if you don't know the tweak .. Anyway, after each reboot my sound was gone and only the following lines seemed to help.

CODE:
  1. apt-get install --reinstall alsa-base
  2. alsaconf

So what's the trick? You got to store the configuration. Duh!

CODE:
  1. alsactl store
  2. alsactl restore

Just for completion, here is what I have in /etc/modules

CODE:
  1. snd_intel8x0
  2. snd_ac97_codec
  3. ac97_bus     
  4. snd_pcm_oss   
  5. snd_mixer_oss
  6. snd_pcm       
  7. snd_timer
  8. snd_page_alloc
