About a month ago, sound stopped working on my son's computer. It runs

------- /etc/modprobe.conf --------
alias eth0 3c59x
options snd-emu10k1 index=0
remove snd-emu10k1 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0 >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-emu10k1
alias snd-card-1 snd-intel8x0
options snd-card-1 index=1
options snd-intel8x0 index=1
remove snd-intel8x0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 1 >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0

The "options snd-emu10k1 index=0" line tells the system that your first sound card is a card from the SoundBlaster Live! family. There's no such card listed from the output of lspci.

The "options snd-intel-8x0 index=1" line tell the system that your second sound card is the on-board Intel stuff. IMHO, you should delete the two lines pertaining to snd-emu10k1 and change the Intel one to "index=0". (Note that the 'alsactl store' line needs to be updated, too.)

You might also want to set up sound from Brooktree-based card, making *it* have index=1.

------- /etc/asound.conf --------
#Generated by system-config-soundcard, do not edit by hand
#SWCONF
#DEV 0
defaults.pcm.card 0 defaults.pcm.device 0 defaults.ctl.card 0

This tells the system that the default output device is the card with index=0---the non-existent SB Live. You either need to make the Intel audio index=0 as described above -or- change all those 0s to be 1s to use the card with index=1 by default. (It would appear that system-config-soundcard should be used to edit /etc/asound.conf.)
