Problems getting sound to work in 5.3

I've recently installed 5.3, the last time I installed FreeBSD(4.9) I
was able to get sound working by adding a device pcm into the kernel.
That did not work this time (of which I now know WHY it didn't work)
so after reading the man pages, the handbook on the freebsd.org
website, I still can't get it to work.
I have done the following things:
Recompiled the kernel with device sound.
using kldload to load different sound drivers (didn't work)
added snd_driver_load="YES" to loader.conf - with this i had a bit of
success because once i started KDE i heard sound, but after that
nothing would play.
I've tried loading individual drivers into the loader.conf file, but
with no success, of course I did skip some and I haven't yet tried
putting anything into the hints file. But I'm hoping perhaps someone
has a bit of advice before I break something :)

Analog Devices ADI 198x Integrated Audio
That's the sound card I have, and of course on the hardware lists I
didn't see that, but in previous versions of FreeBSD I was able to get
sound to work, so my logic says that I should still be able to.

Anyways thanks in advance.
