I couldn't see one. Do you know what name it would have or where I can
get the datasheet for it?

The ECS K75S5A motherboard is built around a SiS735 chipset with
integrated sound, called a SiS7012 by SiS. According to
http://www.sis.com/support/driver/audio.htm one MS-Windows driver
covers the chipsets SiS635, SiS735, SiS633, and SiS733.

There allegedly exist non-free Linux drivers from OSS called the
SiS7012. 

The PCI dump for the sound part is

/proc/pci:
  Bus  0, device   2, function  7:
    Multimedia audio controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS7012 PCI Audio Accelerator (rev 160).
