There are three parts to this
1) identifying the hardware
2) installing the hardware
3) creating a new kernel


1) exactly what make and model sound card do you
have.
Is it a real sound blaster, or a 'sound blaster
compatible card'

2) Does the card have jumpers to set the IO address
and the IRQ, or is this a plug a play card.
Make a note of any IRQ and IO address (base address) settings

3) once you have these details, you can make a new
kerel.
Have you made a new kernel before?

If you tell me more about your hardware, I'll advice on
that to put in your kernel settings.


Finally Read the man pages for sound driver
  man pcm
  man sbc
