I bet your sound card was found but you did not hear the test sound.

If that is true then what you need to do is the following:

add snd-intel8x0m to the /etc/hotplug/blacklist
then reboot.

I had the same problem with the sound card in my laptop. Once I made the 
changes above it solved it. 

Once rebooted check your sound levels. use alsamixer to see where they are 
set.
