I don't really know why sound is working on my machine rn.

I think there is some kind of embedded USB bus AMD thingy that generates
some digital stream that is simply played by a set of DACs on my mobo.
The chipset listed in the motherboard manual seems irrelevant.

The capacitor in my speakers is dying again, I bought these speakers
back in 2006 and have hardly ever turned them off since. So they don't
have much gain anymore, So I need some boost from the card....

Because I need to change a setting, alsamixer just dies when I try to
configure it. When I try to select USB audio, the thing instantly
crashes to desktop.
