I would try to load the pcm module using kldload first. "kldload
snd_pcm" will probably work. If it says the file exist, it's alread in
the kernel. In 4.8, you need to make the device file in /dev still.
You should read the section in the handbook on freebsd.org "Setting Up
the Sound Card." I rebuilt my kernel to get mine to work, something
else was trying or was using the irq my sound card need. It was
probably fixable by editing device.hints in /boot, but the default
kernel has a lot of stuff in it you probably don't need.
