Short answer - install pulse audio, disable the digital portion in pavucontrol and unmuted ("m") the master source in alsamixer.
Hi
I have sound in my older Statler AMD64 on /dev/sda
I had a shop pull my fried Asus P5K-VLM and put in another similar P5
Bios appears correct for new old board.
So I removed the old Statler 32bit installation where I was tracking testing-wheezy over 9 months on another /dev/sdb and did a clean install of the NOv 25 2011 Statler 64 bit. Very Sweet.
onboard intel ad1986a and for video card (onboard disabled) I have an Asus (nvidia) EN210 with HDMI cable to LCD monitor.
Alsamixer on old Cbang shows a S/PDIF, new one does not. Other wise the same

Woud my onboard old Intel AD1986A be feuding with the sound system from my Asus (Nvidia) EN210 silent card?

The older version has some wierd things happen to it - it becomes unstable for scp speeds, variuous programs freeze up (Iceweasel, Opera, even Thunar, pcmanfm and Terminator, so I would very stribgky like to migrate.
The new Statler on the old hard drive is rock solid except for being totally silent.
I tried one modification to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf but no luck.
Sound has been a major focus for me lately as a toy I bought, an Asus EEE pc box 1020 netbook will not have sound with i386 Debian testing, Ubuntu, xubuntu (cbang install always conked out midway) and even Puppy. Only way I got sound to work on that one is via WindozeXP (beautiful digital sound there).
TIA thanks in advance.
edit yes I do have firmware-linux-nonfree installed and also have the Debian multimedia repo set up
