Your machine's BIOS does not initalize the PnP sound card. This is
a well known problem with some BIOSes, and there is an easy solution:

1. reboot your system passing the "-c" option to the kernel, in order to
   enter the kernel configuration mode.

2. type this command:

   pnp 1 0 os enable port0 0x220 port1 0x330 port2 0x388 irq0 5 drq0 1 drq1 5

3. quit confifuration mode, and check whether your card is now detected.

If it is, create a file "/boot/kernel.conf" containing the pnp command
shown above, and create another file named "/boot/loader.conf" containing
the line
           userconfig_script_load="YES"

In this way, your PnP sound card will be automagically configured
every time you boot your system up.

Hoping this helps,
