I suspect you misunderstand Debian. The approach of Debian is
minimalist. If you didn't ask for sound, you didn't get it.

Make sure you've got apt--which you should have. Then do

apt-get update

The above command should precede whatever you find you have to install
next. Then you install the package you want, in this case alsa. So, the
command is something like:

apt-get install alsa

But, this may not be completely accurate. You'll need to learn to use
apt-cache

to find out about available packages.
