What kernel are you running?

If you are running a 2.4.x kernel, try:

apt-get install alsa-modules-<kernel-version>

replacing <kernel-version> with the appropriate version of your kernel.  Then do:

apt-get install alsa-base alsa-oss alsa-utils

and run:

alsaconf

to configure your sound card.

If you are running a 2.6.x kernel, skip the first step, as alsa is a part of the
2.6 kernel.  So all you need to do is:

apt-get install alsa-base alsa-oss alsa-utils
alsaconf

and follow the instructions presented by alsaconf.  Then you will have full alsa
support in Debian.

Happy New Year, and please don't give up on Linux.
