glc would be your man for this question.

What windows version are you running?

Is the "Show volume control on the taskbar" box ticked in the Multimedia box?

The fact that no device is listed in Playback and Recording usually points to the drivers not being installed. Are you sure you're using the proper drivers and that they are infact installed?

Is the soundcard properly identified in Device Manager?

What IRQ is the Soundcard using according to Device Manager?

Most SB compatible soundcards look for IRQ 5 to be free.

Try reserving IRQ 5 for Legacy Device in the BIOS.

Does the soundcard have any jumpers that need to be set?
