Having trouble with sound on a Toshiba laptop

[Aquahammer]

Hey everyone,
I just downloaded Ubuntu version 9.0.4 on my Satellite A505-S6965. Everything seems to be in working order except I cannot get the sound to work, or the wireless networking card. I tried installing the drivers off of Toshiba's website, except for they are all Vista compatible only. Being a linux noob (lol), I have no idea on what to do. So any help or hints would be appreciated.
-Thanks

P.S (First post Yay!)

Try typing "alsamixer" at terminal and make sure your hardware is not muted there. I have heard of that happening.

Wireless: go to System>Administration>Hardware drivers. See if it has anything listed in there. You should be able to activate. If you have a standard ethernet cable hookup on there try hooking that up and see if you can connect to get your updates that way. You may need to be connected to get the correct drivers from Ubuntu.

Good luck!

I tried alsamixer, and it isn't muted.
As for going to updates the only thing that appeared was my Video Card.
Thanks for your help
