A few hints from *you* would be helpful, too.  :-)

I presume you have a sound card.  Which one?

What does /etc/modutils/alsa contain?

Does "lsmod" show that any snd* drivers are loaded?

If the drivers are not getting loaded automatically, try using
modprobe to load the one for your card.

Good luck!
