Seems you have the newest intel ICH6 High definition Audio. You can get
the snd_hda driver from here:

http://people.freebsd.org/~ariff/lowlatency/

then do a

kldload snd_hda

and it will most probably work fine (I've tried it on a notebook, no
problems)

Other than that you should then follow the instructions in the handbook:

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/sound-setup.html

(especially section 7.2.1)
