There is no soundcard listet here. So your card is a non PCI, which means in
this case it is an ISA card. So you have to try.. 

in the dir /lib/modules/<kernek version>/kernel/sound/isa/
should be some modules.. 

you can load them using modprobe, and with dmesg you can control if it was
successfully.

so no ALSA is loaded. If a module is loaded and a soundcard found, it file
should exsist and populated with the alsa devices.
