That seems like a bit of useful information that could be given to google:

http://www.google.com/search?q=nm256...7%20is%20found!

I have no experience from that hardware myself, but other seem to have
problems with that sound card and ALSA. Some seem to have had success with
the card using OSS drivers instead. Assuming that you are using the
default 2.4 kernel you could probably try the OSS drivers as described on
the web.
