Please note, I am no expert. But I bought a computer with an SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCIe card. It seems that the card is currently unsupported by ALSA and I was not able to find any way to work around the problem. Other cards that are named SB X-Fi are supported so it's a little confusing to search for solutions. I ended up getting a USB external card and I've been happy since. Good luck. If you find a way to make the card work with ALSA, please post.
