[Pkg-alsa-devel] no sound - debian6 + xfce on a E35M1-M mainboard (snd-hda-intel)

Hello debian-alsa maintainers,

I have problems to get sound out of debian squeeze with xfce desktop on a E35M1-M mainboard (amd E3500 CPU/GPU/HDMI). 
I tried the squeeze-distribution alsa-base and a self-compiled one, and spend a full day trying to get it working. Unsuccessfull.

So maybe you can help me:
Does the kernel 2.6.32-5-amd64 support the audiochip on this mainboard?
And,if so, what could I try to get it working
I like the stable debian, because of some internet deamons running on the same box.

I can send a lot more information, as the alsainfo.sh output on debian6, ubuntu 10.4 an ubuntu 11.10, if you want to put some time in this.
 Maybe it is quiet simple, and should I tell the snd-hda-intel that it should connect tot the analog audio chip (which apears to be 2nd in the pci list). I tried some hours to (my) problem. try this, but I might miss the basic knowledge for such a configuration. (LPI-junior level). Or maybe compile another snd-hda-intel.

Thanx if you help me out

PS. I owned/managed the one and only debian-based internet cafee in town.
20 thin clients connected to 2 ltsp servers, it worked great!
Still I can't get some thing (my) problem.s right, and could use some help, like this.
