no sound in Jessie with r14 from xcer.cz

Last Debian I installed on any of my own systems was Etch, until Friday, when I did a network minimal, then added TDE. In a broad sense, only one thing bothers me at this point, no sound. In openSUSE we have YaST2 for such things as sound configuration, but in Jessie/TDE I haven't found anything that helps. Trying to use Synaptic to figure it out isn't working, because its scroller is worthless - it has no buttons to scroll only a line at atime, and the scrollbar hopelessly overshoots trying to drag or click. TCC's Sound & Multimedia isn't producing any sound or any clues as to why not. SMplayer plays video but without sound. Is there some TDE tool not yet installed that can configure sound, or do I need some as yet undiscovered Debian tool to make sound work? https://wiki.debian.org/ALSA didn't seem to help at all. :-( # dpkg-query | egrep 'alsa|libasou' ii alsamixergui 0.9.0rc2-1-9.1 amd64 graphical soundcard mixer for ALSA soundcard driver ii alsa-tools 1.0.28-1 amd64 Console based ALSA utilities for specific hardware ii alsa-tools-gui 1.0.28-1 amd64 GUI based ALSA utilities for specific hardware ii alsa-utils 1.0.28-1 amd64 Utilities for configuring and using ALSA ii libasound2:amd64 1.0.28-1 amd64 shared library for ALSA applications ii libasound2-data 1.0.28-1 all Configuration files and profiles for ALSA drivers ii libasound2-plugins:amd64 1.0.28-1+b1 amd64 ALSA library additional plugins # lsmod snd_hda_codec_analog 13795 1 snd_hda_codec_generic 63181 1 snd_hda_codec_analog snd_hda_intel 26327 2 snd_hda_controller 26646 1 snd_hda_intel snd_hda_codec 104463 4 snd_hda_codec_generic,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_controller,snd_hda_codec_analog snd_hwdep 13148 1 snd_hda_codec snd_pcm 88662 4 snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_controller snd_timer 26614 2 snd_pcm snd 65244 9 snd_hwdep,snd_timer,snd_pcm,snd_hda_codec_generic,snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec_analog soundcore 13026 2 snd,snd_hda_codec -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
