I have a 600E, I think its sound hardware is the same as the 600.  I've 
found that turning PCI bus power management off is needed only for the 
OSS drivers.  I have it on and am using ALSA 0.9.0beta12 with no 
problems.  I didn't need alsaconf's autodetect though.  What chipset did 
alsaconf say you have?  If it said cs4232 then you can do better by 
manually setting up the cs4236 driver.
