Thanks for the reply.  As I mentioned, we loaded snd.ko, which loads all
the sound drivers, and it was not detected.  Here is the output of
pciconf -lv.

none2@pci0:17:5:        class=0x040100 card=0xa0021458 chip=0x30591106
rev=0x50 hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'VIA Technologies Inc'
    device   = 'VT8233/33A/8235/8237 AC97 Enhanced Audio Controller'
    class    = multimedia
    subclass = audio
