Well, the card / builtin device doesn't really have to be detected during
boot time time - at least not "by name". Generally, the sound systems that
tend to be on mainboards are AC97 codecs that reside somewhere in your
chipset. For several boards I own, recompiling the kernel with

device		pcm

has made the sound chip work. I don't know exactly any details about
how Gigabyte has implemented the sound stuff on their board, but
recompiling the kernel with the above line in it is worth a try.

For more on compiling the kernel, have a look at our fine handbook at
http://www.freebsd.org/handbook, or /usr/share/doc/handbook on your own
system, assuming the documentation has been installed.
