 Have you got some sort of built-in audio on your motherboard?  That
might well confuse the issue.

 Can you have a look at the output of "lspci -v" to see what's there?

 They are there to try to preserve your volume settings across driver
unload/load, so you don't turn the volume down, do nothing for a while
and suddenly find when you play a sound it's got loud again.

 If the card is behaving oddly, you might want to try the "es1371"
driver as identified by sndconfig.  I have a card floating around here
somewhere that used es1371, but was identified by the mixer as Crystal
something-or-other.
