You need to load the driver for your sound card. If you use Kernel 2.6,
installing discover and/or hotplug can probably do that. You can also
load it at boot time by adding the module name to /etc/modules. To do
that, you have of course to find out which driver you need. Use lspci
and a search engine to find out. If you want to use the alsa drivers,
install the alsa-base package and run alsaconfig. After loading the
driver, make sure you are in the audio group.
