This looks mostly like SoundBlaster and compatibles drivers. Typically in "legacy free" (read: no serial, parallel, or PS/2 ...OR... USB-only) computers have a more diverse set of audio chips, ranging from Intel ICH variants, Intel HDA variants, AC97 variants, and a few others.

Use a PCI bus enumerator tool or boot TinyCoreLinux and run lspci. Then match the PCI ID to a driver on forums like Vogons, vcfed, or MajorGeeks.
