What's the chipset? You might want to dig a bit deeper, it's very possible that the chipset is supported, but that auto-detection fails. Back then a lot of those chipsets were very non-standard and you had to manually enter in IRQs and so forth.

I've had a few older systems that defaulted to muted sound, or defaulted to sending the output to some crazy non-exsistant output that didn't exist on the card. They generally just required a quick flip of bits somewhere to get on track. Of course checking dmesg output and alsaconf, etc. will tell you more of what is going on.
