First I had to login as root.

OK! here's what I get 

zed@zed-laptop ~ $ modprobe snd-hda-intel
zed@zed-laptop ~ alsaconfig
bash: alsaconfig: command not found

I went to Package Manager and found that there are two ALSA packages
installed.  They are alsa-base and alsa-utils. the first name includes
configuration files.  So I then typed:

zed@zed-laptop ~ $ modprobe snd-hda-intel
zed@zed-laptop ~ alsa-base
bash: alsa-base: command not found

Still no sound :-(
