Ok some quick tests

what does lsmod show

if no sound modules are shown try the obvious and do modprobe sb

If you get errors look in /lib/modules/2.6*/kernel/drivers/sound/ (I
think path is right, not at my box) then look for an oss and and alsa
directory and look for a driver that looks possible and try it.

Alsa modules tend to have snd- prefixed to the name of the driver
