I am putting down the system requirements that are required to make a isa sound card ct4520 work:
1) Intel Pentium 90 or higher, or AMD K5 or higher processor
2) 8 MB system RAM (16 MB recommended)
3) MS-DOS® 5.0 or higher, Windows 3.1 or higher, or Windows 95
4)Open half-length 16-bit ISA slot
5)Speakers or headphones
6)CD-ROM drive for software installation

The Crystal (Cirrus Logic) cs4248 chipset is supported by the ALSA snd-ad1848 module.
So run this command in the terminal
Now run the ALSA sound configuration wizard.
If still no sound, it might be necessary to manually modify your /etc/modprobe.conf file (using the Geany text editor) to specify hardware parameters for the snd-ad1848 module. Here is a good example -

That link explains how to configure the cs4248 chipset in the Thinkpad 750.
works with other SB AWE

Just got sound working on an old machine with a slightly different SoundBlaster AWE64 ISA sound card. These boards are in the CT4500 series. Many were sold, many used by different OEMs, with slightly different parameters.
The only thing missing when Puppy installs is the kernel module. Do a modprobe for that before you run alsaconf.
After that, just answer as you would from the Puppy wizard. When you reboot the module should be loaded automatically and the mixer started, as shown in the system tray.

updating modprobe.conf file worked for me
Geany /etc/modprobe.conf
2 lines added at the bottom
alias snd-card-0 snd-sbawe
alias sound-slot-0 snd-sbawe
saved and closed
rebooted & the volume control appeared in the taskbar
