You will probably need to give us more information (what steps you've
tried etc), but here are some obvious first steps.

Have you unmuted the sound? (In order to avoid damage, Linux installs
sound cards muted. Open a mixer program and turn up some volumes)

Is the sound card recognised? (Have a look and 'lspci' and/or 'lsusb' to
find something that looks like an Audio or Multimedia controller)

Presumably, as this is a laptop, you're using FN+Something? You might
need to configure your Desktop Environment manually. Go into the Hotkeys
configuration and set the keys there.

What Wifi device does the laptop have? Hopefully you didn't just pick
drivers at random?

If you run "iw list", can the card see your access point at all?
