 Have you read the FreeBSD Handbook which explains how to load the
 sound driver for your system?
 
 http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/multimedia.html
 
 
 Since you didn't tell us which sound card you have on your
 motherboard, I did a little googleing on the motherboard and this
 site:
 
 http://www.directron.com/k8vxse.html
 
 Says that your card is:
 
 Audio: ADI AD1888 SoundMAx 6-channel audio CODEC, S/PDIF out interface support
 
 And a googling of FreeBSD and AD1888 brings up PR 75860, which shows
 that that card has been supported since FreeBSD 5.x by using the
 snd_via8233 kernel module.
 
 If none of this works, post a "pciconf -vl" from your system.
