It's an A with dual opterons. You may be right about the board, being IBM I assumed intel (the opteron intel combo seemed odd, but hey). I will have to take her apart and have a look. I know the sata controller was SI(3214 I think), which caused a lot of grief. I ended up getting a 3ware card although the onboard scsi(Adaptec) works well.
When I say poor sound it is typical "onboard computer sound" gets the job done but certainly uninspiring.
checking the driver
It uses the snd_ich driver , from the man page
SND_ICH(4) FreeBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual SND_ICH(4)
NAME
snd_ich -- Intel ICH PCI and compatible bridge device driver
