Thank you, for your respond "ptn". For the commands: aplay -l; cat /proc/asound/cards; cat /proc/asound/pcm; arecord --list-devices; cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec;, THE OUTPUT IS IDENTICAL TO YOUR FILES(DATA). For the commands: lspci -vv; lshw; lspci -nv; gmesd; and others, I'll do next few days.
