Hi,
If your device adheres to the Windows MME interface
(see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa909811.aspx)
it can be supported by Data Acquisition Toolbox. There are some limitations you can read about here:
http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/toolbox/daq/f5-54943.html
http://www.mathworks.com/support/solutions/data/1-19SDX.html
The winsound interface constrains the sound card to up to 24 bits per sample,
with the default set to 16. This help page gives more information 
http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/toolbox/daq/bitspersample.html

If your device does adhere to Windows MME then you can see examples and documentation here:
