Your sound-card is on-board. First, be shure about
the name of it, the chipset that makes it work - open
your pc and see the name of the chipset on the
main-board - maybe you'll need it after.
I doesn't know if you found a driver for your
sound-card, but there is already one loaded (like
shows above, in snd* and soundcore ) :

You'll need to remove its firt. To do this, I
recomend you do has follow :
1) move all this modules to another place - If its
be in a directory in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/snd
(directory snd, or misc, for example), - "%mv
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/snd /backup-lib-snd-modules
2) get a driver to it (maybe someone knows where to
find your drive, or search at google if you haven't it
yet)
3) download it, decompress it, and change to it´s
directory.
4) READY VERY CAREFFULY the "README" file, or
"INSTALL", .. or something like this, and do the steps
like sad.
5) If you did everything like ready (and had some
luck too, hehe), you'll have yours modules in
"/lib/modules/`uname -r`/snd (or misc,...)".
6) Shutdown your pc, reboot and try to play some
sound.
7) If nothing work fine, remove the modules
installed, and bring the originally back - "%rm -Rf
/lib/modules/`uname -r´/snd (or misc,.. )" and "%mv
/backup-lib-snd-modules". Shutdown again.
Theses are the steps that you maybe try, the way that
the things happen in linux. I think that say you how
to think is better than how maybe do.. , because
things like this takes some *hurd* times... (not
always :) ).

I know how it is.. I had been 2 week to configure 2
pcs at all and a cluster! But I'm almost at the end :)
