I don't know about the first part (maybe rebuild/install the kernel so 
it will re/install the kernel modules?) but for the 2nd part put 
snd_driver_load="YES" into your loader.conf file and reboot, this will 
load all sound modules then you can do "dmesg | grep pcm" to find out if 
your card worked (not a definitive test) and if it did a good hint at 
what driver(s) to use.
