Peter, I don't know if this is likely helpful or not, but my Compaq is a
1500c with an ESS ES1869, reporting (on 5.4-RELEASE):

sbc0: <ESS ES1869 (Compaq OEM)> at port 0x330-0x331,0x388-0x38b,0x220-0x22f irq 5 drq 5,1 on isa0
pcm0: <ESS 18xx DSP> on sbc0

I too have in kernel:

 device          sound
 device          snd_sbc                 # ES1869 (Compaq OEM)

but after much headscratching it only finally worked after adding:

 snd_ess_load="YES"      # this fixed it .. bridge driver for ESS

to /boot/loader.conf.  My soon to be built 5-STABLE kernel will include
also 'device snd_ess' directly, and I'm expecting that to work too. 

HTH, Ian
