In the dmesg I find a load of lines where the ac97 is querying the hardware but can't find the audio. I know from elsewhere that is should be somewhere around I/O 0x530 and Irq 11 but for some reason OpenBSD can't find it.
Thinkpad 600e should have much better audio than the stupid AC97. I have had at least four ThinkPads so far the oldest being 300E and OpenBSD audio works perfectly on all of them without any additional configuration. You might want to see above post for additional help.

I eventually have to turn off the laptop power switch (or drop the battery) and turn it back on to come back.

Any help is appreciated
Forget about it. ThinkPads are different story when it comes to recent work on ACPI and I can tell you that suspend does NOT work on them (at least on two old once that I still have).
