Jim Little suggested to check "lspci -v":
0000:00:09.1 Input device controller: Creative Labs SB Live! MIDI/Game
Port (rev 07)
Subsystem: Creative Labs Gameport Joystick
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32
I/O ports at a800 [size=8]
Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 1
and also look at :/var//lib/alsa/asound.state: but I get "No such file
or directory
"
As proposed by Don Kelly, I tried reading
/etc/udev/permissions.d/udev.permissions, but the file does not exist (
I did check as root as well). I also checked that I was a member of the
group called audio and I am listed.
In addition I also found out that I could not install KDE and that CUPS
was not available.
Looks like I may have to re-install Debian (or is there a way to
completely redo the base configuration including hardware detection?)
