I had this problem and found a solution yesterday.  I upgraded the
machine to the latest 2.6.9 (on unstable) and then as sound had never 
worked from installation I ran alsaconf which now detects the sound
card correctly, and sound works.

For some reason (I think it may be due to a problem with writing CDs)
the default that is installed currently is 2.6.8, but 2.6.9 is available and
does seem to solve this problem.

This is not an an HP 5000, but on a Samsung P28, but the sound chip
set is the same.

David

thx a lot for advice, but I'll need some more help, (Sorry I'm quit fresh in 
Debian only 3 weeks expierance)
That means I made syslink, but then I could't run "dpkg-reconfigure 
alsa-source",
couse I got message:" alsa-source is not installed", I installed alsa from .deb 
packeges.
(I've try to install from source, which I download from alsa-project.org, but 
as I wrote before There was:"error: You have built-in ALSA in your kernel.")
So my question is :Should I install alsa-source? and second: What that means - 
"recompile alsa module". I try to find out(google) but I still don't 
understand:(

Ok, I had similar problems for a long time, until something I did
suddenly worked. Try this...copy the /etc/modutils/alsa to
/etc/alsa/modutils/1.0
then create a symlink to this from /etc/modutils/alsa (thats how it is
on my system)

then run dpkg-reconfigure alsa-source, and recompile alsa
module. Hopefully, this will work. keep us posted on your progress

Hi Mateusz,
i am not really sure but there's a bug on bugzilla.kernel.org #3366:
[...]
Upon upgrading from 2.6.6 to 2.6.8.1, the driver fails to load, with 
message:

kern.log:Sep  8 00:08:37 omicron kernel: ATI IXP AC97 controller: probe of
:00:14.5 failed with error -13
A fresh build of 2.6.7 has the same error.
[...]
That's maybe the problem, still needing a fix (since the bug isn't 
closed), i think.

just my 2 cents,
marco

I cannot offer any help, but on my Dell laptop I have exactly the same
problems. Alsa was previously working fine, suddenly I went to play a
movie and realized I had no sound. 

I have a this Dell laptop and a desktop, both running sid, both of
which I apt-get dist-upgrade at the same time. There was recently an
update for alsa that I noticed both machines dutifully installed, this
was perhaps a week a go now, not sure.
The desktop, also running alsa has no problems whatsoever with sound
but now my laptop cannot find any soundcard at all. 

Did you recently upgrade any alsa packages?

Check to see if your /etc/modutils/alsa looks like this
alias char-major-116 snd
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-slot-0
If not, then put these line in there, and run update-modules, and
restart alsa.
I too have the same card and it works fine with kernel 2.6.7. I
remember that I had some problems initally getting it to work
right. Maybe this was what corrected it finally.

modutils/alsa didn't look like your, and I made according
to your tips, but still does't work. I'm wondering, Is in your
/etc/modutist file alsa-base? I've got, but when I removed it,nothing 
has been chenged:(, and still the same error:

Storing ALSA mixer settings...failed.

It seems all moduls are corectly loaded.
