If it's not even an option then Windows can't be even seeing it
on bootup. As you say, it could be a bad slot but I'm not sure
with CD's playing directly. Might be a driver issue but if Windows
can't see it it also won't load a driver.

Does it show up in Device Manager ?  With or Without a  (!)   ?
If a sound card shows there it may not hurt to remove it
and reboot and let Windows try to find it again..

If you got a driver CD with the sound card that Might override
whatever Windows is trying to do and put the right drivers in..

Hard to say via remote control..   B)
