Well, I suggest you to download ALSA driver and shall work for you.
But as I know you are pretty new to linux, I found a detailed instruction to install it. Don't worry, at first look complicated but is easy and simple.
Here is the detailed instruction I found on other site:



first :-

do

Code: [Select]

lspci | grep Audio
and then u get the type of your sound card
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)

second :-

then download the lastest alsa Driver ,asla Util and alsa Lib from www.alsa-project.org

third:-

In a shell type these commands:
Make a directory to store the alsa source code in.
These are single command per line ie. type one by one.

Code: [Select]

cd /usr/src
mkdir alsa
cd alsa
cp /downloads/alsa-* .Now unzip and install the alsa-driver package

Code: [Select]

bunzip2 alsa-driver-xxx
tar -xf alsa-driver-xxx
cd alsa-driver-xxx
./configure --with-cards=hda-intel --with-sequencer=yes;make;make install

./configure;make;make installafter that add this to shell

Code: [Select]

#modprobe snd-hda-intel;modprobe snd-pcm-oss;modprobe snd-mixer-oss;modprobe snd-seq-oss
then type

As asked in other thread about same question :

ricky by your method my sound card  :(couldn't be detected
i think kernel recompilation method can be best, as i knew from alsa site and i don't know how, Huh

Well, we are actually compiling all the stuff, may be you missed something, .. ./configure, make , make install..
all these are for compiling.

I suggest you to do all with peace and fresh mind while understanding the stuff which you do not get  at first!
