First you might want to check the levels by running xmixer from root.
As a last ditch attempt to get it up, try this command line from root
# modprobe sb io=0x220 dma=1 mpu_io=0x330 irq=5
This loads the SoundBlaster module and all the modules that go with it. If you see a
warning about the sound module already being loaded, you can safely ignore it. If
however, you see an error message about the interrupt number in use the command
cat/proc/interrupts to examine the interrupts being used on your Linux system and
check the documentation for your sound card. Then try the above command again with a
appropriate parameters.
