Ah well, I'm running a couple of Dell Dimensions, which probably aren't 
terribly different.

If your soundcard problem is more than just a case of the mixer volumes being 
muted, useful info here would be the output of:
$ lsmod | grep ^snd
$ lspci | egrep "(Multimedia|Host bridge)"
and
$ cat /proc/asound/{version,cards,devices,hwdep,pcm}
