Hi All,

I want just to share my experience with run the sound on ASRock AM2NF3-VSTA MB under Debian Linux 8/AMD64.

All you need to do is to create a file for modules and module-parameters. For Debian-8 it can be a file with extension ".conf" in directory:
/etc/modprobe.d/

in example:
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf

The file should have the following contents:

---------------------------------------------------
alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss
alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss
alias char-major-116 snd
alias char-major-14 soundcore

# Set this to the correct number of cards. I have 2 so
options snd cards_limit=2

# This is my USB card so I set it's index and parameters to 0
# so that is becomes default. Do the same.
alias snd-card-0 snd-usb-audio
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
# Obtain the USB Dev ID from 'lsusb' - see bellow. Just put 0x in front of ID
options snd-usb-audio index=0 vid=0x0d8c pid=0x0201
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/dsp snd-usb-oss
---------------------------------------------------
