Well if it's a PCI card or an on board chip try modprobe <driver>

For instance the bf2.4 config is at:
ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/3.0.23-2002-05-21/bf2.4/kernel-config
Likewise other kernel config files exist at the relevant location.

So you can see if your driver is compiled or not.

If it's isa then welcome to the wonderful world of having to know
IRQ/DMA/port etc.  Or possibly using isapnp.

Debian does ship sndconfig IIRC but it's a bit of a hit and miss affair
and it never worked for me on my (admittedly slightly esoteric) Ensoniq
Soundscape PnP.
