Probably not. The 'sb' driver is only for Sound Blaster cards.
A quick google search reveals that the ALSA drivers support your card :
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/alsa-howto/x628.htm
and (probably since ALSA is included in kernel 2.5/2.6) the new
kernels support it too :

| Should I just ditch this dinosaur and buy a modern card?
Install the alsa modules for your kernel and go from there. I expect
it will work, as long as the hardware isn't damaged :-).
