cannot get sound on Toshiba laptop



I have a Toshiba laptop that I cannot get the sound working on.
No error messages, but nothing comes out of the speaker.

Here are the particulars:
  Toshiba Satellite, model 2805-S301
  Yamaha YMF754B-R sound card
  Debian 3.0r0 woody
  2.4.18-bf2.4 kernel

# ls -l /dev/dsp
crw-rw----    1 root     audio     14,   3 Mar 14 14:51 /dev/dsp

I am in the audio group.
Settings/Multimedia/Sound, Sound Events tab, Play button gives
no sound.

ALSA is not installed, but I am not sure exactly which packages
to install.  Do I need alsa-modules-2.4.x?  All I see are
alsa-modules-2.4.16-*, nothing for 2.4.18.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
