It is hard to get help if you don't provide details. You mention you have
problems configuring your sound card. So please tell us what you did to
configure it and what you did to test.

Not enough information.

This would be the ex(4) driver. Is your kernel built with it? (I assume it
is, because it is by default for i386.)

What does your kernel say?

grep ^ex /var/run/dmesg.boot

Or maybe it is detected, but you never configured it. Look at:
