In debian sarge (3.1) alsa drivers of some latest sound cards are not
included. For that You have to upgrade your kernel. 2.6.16 kernel is
available at backports. add
deb http://www.backports.org/debian/ sarge-backports main
to your /etc/apt/sources.list

apt-get update
and
apt-get install linux-image-2.6.16-2-686
