OK, try this. If you are running a 2.4 kernel then install like this: apt-get alsa-utils alsa-drivers then run: alsaconf and follow the instructions it should find your sound card and install the driver for it.
If you have a 2.6 kernel then just apt-get install alsa-conf and then run alsaconf. In the debian kernel-image-2.6 the alsa drivers are built as modules already, since the alsa sound system/drivers are now a standard part of the 2.6 kernels.
