You can try a "modprobe sb" command to start.. No luck, then find out the chipset for the soundcard, Search google for it, you can usually find the parameters for the card there, or even in system folder of a windows install.
Or, try cd to /lib/modules/2.4.22-xfs/kernel/drivers/sound/
list to see the modules in there. If one seems to match your soundcard, try an insmod and look for errors.
For ex: insmod ac97 ( do not type the .o extension )
Many times, the errors tell you what you need to load, prior to loading the sound module.. (for example: ........no uart found..... )
Most sound cards will run on either the io=0x220 or io=0x530 address, ... irq of 5 is common ... dma is usually 1 or 0, and dma2 is commonly 0 or 1 . mpuio=0x330 is right on, and the mpuirq is frequently shared with the irq of 5..
So, try a few combos if google isn't helpful.. for ex.. "insmod sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0" or "insmod io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1"
You'll usually know right away if the driver and card mate.
If it requires another module loaded first, try that one... "insmod uart401""
