Thanks for the reply gustaaf,
I used this to check if my hardware was supported
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/5.4-RC2/HARDWARE.HTM#AUDIO
(it was RC1 at the time) I haven't modified the kernel (dont really have 
the time to do it ATM)
I loaded all the drivers by loading snd_drivers like it said in the 
handbook none of them worked.
Here is the dmesg output from linux:
0000:00:1b.0 0403: Intel Corp. 82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family) High 
Definition Audio Controller (rev 03)

Any ideas?

Thanks
