After all, it wouldn't be logical to have a sound daemon running without a
sound card.
There are a ton of options that can go in /etc/modprobe.conf for sound. For
example, I set up a laptop a short while ago that required these options:
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-card-0 index=0
options snd-hda-intel model=toshiba
There are all kinds of other model= options available. One of them is quite
likely what you need to get your machine going.
