Installing Sound card

[Tunene]

I am very new to Linux and every time that I try playing audio cd using Amarok I get error message about the :
output engine is unavailable
Xine Parameters
The I realized that no sound is installed on my system and I don't even know how to determine which sound card came with my computer (I am using Dell Latitude D830); but what I figured is that sound card is not installed on my system. Pls how can I go about resolving the problem?

look over this
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting

Also have you installed all multimedia codecs you need?

After removing the old installation of alsa package then I run sudo apt-get install to install alsa utils package again and rebooted my system but unfortunately when the system is up-running the
sudo aplay -l
aplay: device_list:204: no soundcards found...
Then I followed the instruction about manually compiling the driver by running
sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-header-$(uname -r) module-assistant alsa-source
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
build-essential is already the newest version.
E: Couldn't find package linux-header-2.6.22-14-generic
This is where I stopped when I got the error message. Pls what can I do?
