SoundTroubleshootingProcedure: hp dv8 intel sound not working.

Many thanks in advance for the time and effort to review the following information.

I worked through the entire troubleshooting process before posting here, and the short version is that my sound card is not detected by alsa.

In all instances, I want to generate sound to the speakers.

aplay: device_list:252: no soundcards found...
Unloading ALSA sound driver modules: (none loaded).
Loading ALSA sound driver modules: (none to reload).

Step 8 information:
There is no sound from any output device, and no output devices were found by the applications.

Step 10 information:
There is no pulse-rt group, but root and my personal account are both in the other named groups.

Step 14 information:
There are no BIOS settings for the sound card as this is a laptop and there are no BIOS settings for it.

Step 17 information:
aplay: device_list:252: no soundcards found...

Subsequent Steps:
There is no asound folder under /proc (due to the device not being found), so that information is not available that I know of.

Again, thanks in advance for any information or links to help me get the sound working.
