I know, I found out later it's the VIA VT8237 chipset. The information
from Asus makes the codec appear as the chipset.

The problem was that none of the snd_* modules were built, and I did
rebuild the kernel. Once I built the modules, I was able to load the
drivers. I think you need to add "device sound" to get these modules to
build automgically.
So the snd_via8233 is the driver that works, and it's fine if you want
basic functionality (stereo sound, record, etc.) This motherboard (Asus
AV8) has 8 channel audio though. I stumbled across this site :
http://www.opensound.com/freebsd.html
I installed the demo FreeBSD driver (expires every three months) and it
supports the card fully. It's only $30 to buy it, so if I end up doing
multimedia stuff with this system then it's well worth the cost. It's so
nice not having to resort to Linux everytime you want to do something
cool.... This should resolve a bunch of unanswered posts I saw in the list
archives. Thanks for the help.
Here's the output of `cat /dev/sndstat` and mixer.
