I got sound working on a laptop in Debian, not that complicated really, "modbprobe maestro2" is what I had to do at the time, if you load the right driver for your soundcard using modprobe it will automagically load the required drivers for you. Also, if you need a "wizard" to do it for you, just run "apt-get install sndconfig" and then run the sndconfig app once it's installed - it's a ncurses program. Hope that helps.
