I'm not sure what modules/drivers the Turtle Beach soundcard uses , but I did get quite a few hits with a G4L search for 'Vortex AU8820' (http://www.google.com/linux?hl=en&lr=&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=Vortex+AU8820&btnG=Google+Search) that may help.

Do you have PnP OS disabled in the bios and that is usually necessary for Linux to detect and cofigure PCI devices.

Does

lspci
and
cat /proc/interrupts
and
cat /proc/ioports

show anything soundcard related?

If all else fails, you may need to use the ALSA soundcard drivers.
