i'm assuming you mean the alsa init script.
did you look in the logs (eg /var/log/syslog) for why it failed?
maybe you could tell us what distro and software versions you are
using, together with the output of:
lspci -v
lsmod
service alsa status
(or whatever it is on your distro)
cat /var/log/syslog | grep -i alsa
(for the last boot)
also read the documentation for your card on
http://www.alsa-project.org
and the quicktoots:
http://www.djcj.org/LAU/quicktoots/
the archives for the alsa-user list might also be instructive...
cheers
