That looks much better. You'll have to discover why it's not trying to
load snd-emu10k1 at boot time, but at least you can do it by hand which
is very positive.

Erase /etc/asound.state and then rerun alsamixer and bring up your
levels I guess. (Unless aumix is what you are supposed to run for this
card. I had a SB once and I ran alsamixer.)
