Greetings,

  hi, I have the same Dell ISP8000, and the same audio card, 
  pci2: <unknown card> (vendor=0x125d, dev=0x1998) at 3.0 irq 5

  IIRC, the maestro3 drivers can't load from the kernel.
  don't know what is the reason, search the archive if you want 
  to know.

  What I did is, load pcm module in loader.conf, and then load
  the maestro2 modules in rc.local.

  edit the file, and add in this line for NEWPCM driver.
  --- /boot/loader.conf ---
  snd_pcm_load="YES"
  --- end ---

  create this file if not there, and add in the following lines,
  only the snd_maestro3 is a must, the rest optional.
  --- /etc/rc.local ---
  # -- load maestro3 driver
  # somehow, the order seems to be very important.  And pcm must be
  # in memory first.  So that leaves loading snd_pcm in /boot/loader.conf
  # and loading this now.
  /sbin/kldload snd_maestro3

  # -- adjust the volume
  # The default of 75:75 is pretty loud
  /usr/sbin/mixer vol 45:45
  /usr/sbin/mixer speaker 45:45
  --- end ---

  I assume you already have devices in /dev/  , if not just do a 
  "cd /dev && sh MAKEDEV all"

Regards,
/calvin
