Carlo,
	Check out your /etc/modprobe.conf file, it should have the following lines:

I have an nForce 2 chipset as well and this works for me.

You may want to execute the "/usr/sbin/alsactl store" by hand after you 
initially configure the card and have it working so that you will 
restore a working configuration after each reboot....
