A nice, simple way to get sound working on FreeBSD:
	kldload snd_driver
This will load all of the sound driver modules at once.
	cat /dev/sndstat
This will tell you which driver(s) the kernel picked for your hardware.

Then, you either add the appropriate lines to /boot/loader.conf to 
auto-load those modules at boot time, or you add the appropriate 
devices to your kernel config file and recompile the kernel.

Simple as that.

One of these days, I'm going to get around to writing a patch for the 
Handbook that lays it out a little simpler, like the above.
