Greg,
       It's likely that your card doesn't support digital and therefore 
no checkbox,you basicly need to experiment
to find the problem.
1/  Does "lspci" show the card
2/ Is it listed in /etc/sysconfig/hwconf
3/ Does "system-config-soundcard" work
4/ run "alsactl store"  is it shown in "less /etc/asound.state"
5/ If it is logout - login run "alsactl restore" -- what happens --
6/ The module is loaded "lsmod"
7/ Try diferrent mixers Kmix;Alsamixer;Aumix.
