sudo apt-get install module-assistant

sudo m-a prepare
sudo m-a a-i alsa

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Gutsy_Intel_HD_Audio_Controller in section G gives an easier solution that worked for me. It’s basically
sudo aptitude install linux-backports-modules-generic
followed by a
echo options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m42 | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
