Depending on the type of sound being onboard or a separate expansion card the first place to look would be in the device manager for anything under "other devices". The initial problem where Windows fails to detect one or the other is rather commonly seen.
Once you have the latest Vista if not 7 beta update installed you may suddenly see the new hardware found, Windows is now installing drivers..". Sometimes it takes more then one try to get drivers to go or to see Windows copy and install them for you making them active.
