I have the same chip, which is supported by the snd_hda driver. If you
have access to the kernel sources, you could try the following:

# cd /usr/src/sys/modules/sound/driver/hda/
# make && make install
# cd /usr/src/sys/modules/sound/sound
# make && make install
# kldload snd_hda

and see whether something appears on your /var/log/messages and the
output of `cat /dev/sndstat`

Best,
