Sadly alsaconf has been deprecated, and sent to the great bit bucket in the 
sky. If I understand it correctly the kernel is now supposed to detect sound 
cards, and set up alsa correctly.

This is not always the case, so some manual intervention may be needed to get 
your sounds to work.

What problem are you having with your sounds? I may, or may not be able to 
help.

The ouput of the following commands may be a start.

cat /proc/asound/cards
cat /proc/asound/version
lsmod | grep snd
lspci   (just the bits for the sound card/s

All the best.

Nigel.
