Debian 6/ T22 no audio

I've used Debian 6.0.4 on several computers before without issue but on my recent eBay bargain, a T22 (2647) there is no audio - a cross through the volume icon.
I think I remember hearing the Ubuntu startup bongos when I briefly tried Ubuntu 9.04 so probably it won't be too difficult. The top row volume buttons didn't do anything though.
I don't know if it doesn't know which module to load or something, and I'm a bit rusty with Linux after several months back with Windows 7.
All advice and memory prodding welcome. Thanks.

Follow these instructions. It worked on my T20 (I am assuming the T22 uses the same sound card)

That did work until I rebooted. I had no desktop then, just a black screen and sometimes blinking hd light. The fonts also had looked pretty terrible although not quite as bad as on a newer Toshiba, so I've given up on Debian until 7 if they attend to that. I think as this computer works well with Ubuntu 9.04 that I will put Linux Mint 7 on it (based on Ubuntu 9.04), so that although that is obsolete it will have all the added codecs for music and DVD. Some of the 'lighter' distros have other issues for this laptop - I was literally leaving the machine to install Linux Mint LXDE 11 for about four or five hours, possibly the ram but the Ubuntu 9.04 installer worked fine. Grr... Still a cute old machine though...
Hmm, maybe other issues

SOunds as though you may have Xorg issues as well. The fonts can be installed through aptitude. Here is a copy of my xorg.conf from my T20.
