sound not working

[Bruce Muirhead]

ok folks, I screwed my courage to the  sticking place and upgraded to
dapper flight 5.  I am ujsing an Asus a5ec notebook.

So far things seem the same as they were with breezy, but I cannot get
the sound working.  When I hit the sound applet and try to open the
preferences I get the message that "No volume sontrol GStreamer plugins
and/or devices found."

I believe what this means is that the sound card is not configured. So,
how do I do this?

Using breezy it was a simple matter of installng realteks alsa package,
but the attempt to do this on dapper failed with errors at the make
stage of the process.  I tried to load the snd-hda-intel module, but
received the following message:

" Module snd_hda_intel not found."

so:how do i tell if a sound card has been configured?
   : how do I find out if the appropriate gstreamer plugins are
installed?

any advice re this would be appreciated.
