Your card is one that will probably not work without driver support. And I don't even know if there is any laptop graphic card that can use the S/PDIF in/out method. For instance, I have a nVidia 9800 GT which uses the S/PDIF method. Since it's a hardware connection between my motherboard and the graphic card, it would probably work on OpenBSD as well. I didn't tried. But I also have a spare nVidia 8400 which has the internal audio mixer, as yours. It was a PITA to get sound to play over HDMI. S/PDIF has it's limitations, if I'm not mistaken you can't get anything above 5.1, and even that, is compressed. You won't have 7.1. But none of this was on OpenBSD. Just to illustrate how painful is this kind of setup.
