Are you using a 2.4 or 2.6 kernel? ('uname -r') If it's 2.4 you need
the alsa-modules package appropriate to your kernel. If you can't find
it tell us what kernel you have, and we can let you know the package
name. It should be alsa-modules-<your kernel version> You'll also need
alsa-base. alsa-utils will help you configure it, and alsa-oss will
allow some older programs to output sound. Once you install alsa-utils
do an 'alsaconf' as root then an 'alsamixer'. This should set up your
sound card.

Others have suggested how to work with that.
