Same here. My azalia connected mic works under OSX but not under
OpenBSD. Did you ever figure out a solution?

I have a similar problem. I've got a Macbook Air 5.1 running OpenBSD
5.5-stable. The microphone seems to be there, but I'm not able to get it
to record anything (aucat -o produces a silent file). The speakers and
headset work fine. Also, I noticed that Gnome 3 sound settings list no
input devices.
