I don't have much experience with Debian, but I have got sound working fine on my two laptops. I had some problems with my old Dell Inspiron 3800 at first. I was running RedHat 7.0, and the 2.2 Kernel did not support my card. Once I compiled a 2.4 Kernel with the correct modules everything worked fine. I also have SuSE 8.0 running on a Toshiba Satellite Pro 4300 and Yast2 had no problems configuring the sound.
