Have you tried: lspci -v >lspci.log <cr> then had a look inside of lspci.log to see if you could find your sound card? If it's a p&P sound card only this won't work, but if it's in a pci slot it's possible lspci -v can give you the vendor and type of card which may be enough to get alsa going correctly. That should also provide you port info, but even before that perhaps dmesg >dmesg.log as root and reading down that file to see if the system even finds a sound card would be useful.
