You need to deal with each issue on it's own. Listing the specific steps you take and errors received are helpful, simply saying "it doesn't work" is not.

You don't need sound to install linux. If things don't work, you fix them, or as a last resort bleat somewhere like here.

Install can be done
1. Over a network
2. Using cdrom
3. using dvd

You can also cheat in many cases with an adapter to put your 2.5" hard drive into a normal box and go from there.
