Don't mess with building a kernel until you have found the right driver.
The simplest way I know is (as root) "kldload /modules/snd.ko". Then
watch the output on a console, via dmesg(8), and/or the contents of
/var/log/messages to see which (if any) of the kld modules liked your
sound card.

Its been a few months since I've been in there doing what you are doing
but IIRC /modules/snd.ko is an "all-modules" module. Once you figure out
what is needed then you could either build a new kernel or simply add it
to /boot/loader.conf (see /boot/defaults/loader.conf for example).
