A dmesg would be helpful as would kldstat and kernel config.

The obvious question is whether your kernel includes 'device sound' and
'device snd_ich' or kldstat shows them loaded. You might want to do a
'pciconf -lv' and look for what device is in class 'multimedia' and
subclass 'audio'. You may also need drivers for the System Management
bus:
device          smbus
device          iicbus
device          iicbb
device          intpm
device          ichsmb
device          smb

Not really sure of exactly which are needed.
