I had a similar problem that the problem you have......
I installed LM 8.0 with the same soundcard (onboard) and it didn't work in
any way.
In a second stage, I got enlightened and I installed the optional Alsa
drivers that dont come in the primary installation.
After I configured it, the card works properly!!!!....:=)
I suppose that this could be your problem
