IIRC, snd is being loaded?

Correct.

It's supposed to work on your loadable modules.  The ones under
/lib/mobules/<kernel-version>

You don't even have to specify the path or the .o extension.  All you
have to do is do:  "modinfo ex1370"

None of these look like they'd be required.

If this is your card:

I set my index=0 don't know what it means.

Mine is CARD_0

If your system multiboots into Windows, your best bet is to boot into
Windows and then copy the info from your Device Manager.

Another thing you might try is "modprobe snd-cs4236" or whatever your
card requires.  It might give you some more info.  I don't have your
original post up right now.  If you upgraded your alsa from 0.9 or
whatever, and it worked (seems like it did?), inspect your
/etc/alsa/modutils/0.9 file and see if there is an "options" line in
there.  Just copy it into your 1.0 file and run update-modules and it
ought to work.
