This helped a bit: I ran 'lspci -v' and found out some things. But 
sndconfig doesn't work, I tried that already some times. It sais 
something like:

#you don't seem be running a kernel with modular sound 
#enabled.(soundcore.o was not found in the modular search path.) To use 
#sndconfig, you must be running a kernel with modular sound, such as 
#kernels shipped with Debian Linux or 2.2 or greater kernel.

I have kernel 2.4.16 on my laptop and I have some sound modules installed...

Tnx,
Kurt.
