I have a msi mobo like you, not quite the same , but very similar. The sound works perfectly on alsa sound driver , arts enabled ,mixer leds are bright green ( oh , and by the way having set the leds to bright green, did you move your cursor over the window header and right mouse click down to "store settings") Nothing else is necessary for me. All devices work flawlessly, I have multichannel support , all sound stream types work, all system sound works. All DVD devices sound work, I have them all, grip works, even xcdroast play sound works. Maybe something doesn't but I haven't found one yet. I cannot see what difference there is between our two setups I have msi k7t266pro2 with raid. my onboard sound chip is via 8233 you haven't mentioned having AC97 codec , but I bet you do have it ?
