I have a similar Audio Controller and although I could play sounds with
alsa with the standard setup, I could not capture any sound.  So I
switched to the Nvidia-driver (nvsound).  Now I can use the
OSS-sound-system but alsa is not working.  I can capture and play sound.

I am considering buying a different sound card.
