Does anyone know where I can find the drivers?

When I enter sudo lshw -class multimedia the terminal shows me;

*-multimedia

imitheos in a 2005 thread answered your question.
He said, "Since you have a intel hda controller you need the 'hda_intel' module. try 'modprobe hda_intel' and see what you get.

OP replied, "turns out the trick was to use modprobe snd_intel8x0m (the m is evidently important), to run Kmix (pretty standard since you have to unmute), and to put the headphones in the middle jack even though that's not how the ports are labelled."

I simply searched on "82801FB/FBM/FR/FW/FRW (ICH6 Family)"
