Sound problem in L35 Toshiba Satellite

[Rodrigo Santos <ierms@criba.edu.ar>]

I have installed DEBIAN ETCH on my Toshiba laptop. At the beginning I 
was able to handle the control volume but no sound came out of the 
speakers. So going through the web I started upgrading and downloading 
more packages and applications until the moment in which no sound but no 
sound card detection either.

alsaconf is not working.

I would really like to have my laptop completely operative but it seems 
almost imposible right now.

Please help!
