You might try downloading and installing the ALSA drivers...you'll need to have the kernel-source package installed for your kernel to do so.
You could also try the OSS driver...it's not freeware, but I found it to work extremely well with my sound card, for which the kernel drivers didn't work 100% (missing some crucial functionality). It's also possible that you'll need the kernel-source package installed for OSS, as well, as it turns out that if the downloaded package doesn't have the driver compiled for your particular kernel, it gives you an option, at install time, to try to compile it for you.
