Perhaps it needs plug-n-play to assign resources to it.

If it is a plug-n-play problem, install the isapnptools package, read
/usr/share/doc/isapnptools/*. Run pnpdump, edit the output and save it
as /etc/isapnp.conf, then run "isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf".
Then modprobe your sound driver with the correct options. Use "modinfo
-p modulename" to see the list of supported options.
When you have found the right configuration, create a file
/etc/modutils/local, in which you put the lines:
alias char-major-14 modulename
options modulename moduleoptions
Then run update-modules. Check that /etc/modules.conf now contains the
above lines.
Cheers,
Joost
