Ensure that BIOS has not disabled the onboard audio chipset. If it's 
enabled but it does not get recognized, maybe you can enforce a mode 
different than "Auto" :-?

Also, recheck if the PCI slot used for the AWE64 is not shared nor tagged 
as "special" to avoid any conflict, motherboards makers specify this in 
the board's manual.
