The are two portions to the sound h/w you have, the pcm component, ie the VT82C686, and the AC97 codec that controls the mixer and routing of the audio within the h/w. The AC97 code does not detect your AC97 codec so you end up with a pcm component with no ac97 mixer. Does you BIOS have an onboard sound setting? If this is not enabled then might explain what you see. Failing that can you post the complete output of dmesg and set 'sysctl hw.snd.verbose=3' and post the output of 'cat '/dev/sndstat'?
