Mixer settings could be at fault if you're hearing no sound; my SB Live 
was VERY quiet under FreeBSD. Watch the kernel messages(via tty0 or 
checking dmesg) for the success/failure of the driver loading. Also, you 
can "cat /dev/random > /dev/dsp" to do a quick sound-check from the console.

If you're running FreeBSD 5.x(which would be the case if snd_driver 
existed but didn't help), the device should be created automatically if 
it succeeds, and you can "cat /dev/sndstat" for info. If 4.x(which just 
uses "snd" not "snd_driver"), you may have to create a device node, 
which is something I have no experience with.

If none of this works, you might want to check the HARDWARE.TXT file for 
your version of FreeBSD(should be on the installation media). Not only 
will this let you know the card is supported, it might offer some 
insight as to the driver?

HTH, I can't presently think of anything more.
