If sndconfig says your card is not supported, then the required driver is not present in the kernel. You have to install the driver for your card to work. Whatever you do with irq is irrelevant if the driver required to make your card work is not there. To make the card work , you have to either upgrade to a new kernel which has drivers for your card or go to the card vendor's site and check whether any driver has been written for linux.
