Remove Integrated Sound Card?

[LMO]

Aloha.
My Dell XPS 410 came with an integrated sound card (built in to the MB).
It's a SigmaTel card, but they no longer support it. The card doesn't even
show up as a hardware device, only the SigmaTel Codec shows up, but not the
hardware.
I bought a new sound card, but it will not work. I am assuming I must first
remove anything connected with the integrated sound card. How do I do that
when it doesn't show up as a device?
Dell will not help, as I wiped Vista and installed XP.
Thank you.

Thanks for your kindness. For some reason the original post is not showing
up, so I asked again.
When's the last time you beat your wife?

You do it from BIOS - which has NOTHING to do with the OS.
