Is the module loaded? run lsmod as superuser, it will tell you.
you restart the sound driver by running
/etc/rc.d/init.d/sound restart
as superuser.
Is the mixer volume up? You might have more luck with the alsa drivers (which
many consider to possess a higher level of "betterness"). But I don't know
any easier way to do that than by editing /etc/modules.conf.
actually, can you send us your /etc/modules.conf file? It will let us know how
the thing is currently configured, we can probably be of more help then.
