Nevermind, I figured it out on my own, for the sound I
installed the snd_ich module

su
cd /sys/modules/sound/driver/ich/
make
make install
make load
edit /boot/defaults/loader.conf

and change the line that says
snd_ich_load="NO"
  to
snd_ich_load="YES"

So the sound drivers are loaded every time you reboot.

And for the LAN I installed the nve module:

su
cd /sys/modules/nve/
make
make install
make load
edit /boot/defaults/loader.conf

and change the line that says
if_nve_load="NO"
  to
if_nve_load="YES"

So the LAN drivers are loaded every time you reboot.

In the shell, then type:

sysinstall

Go to Configure -> Networking -> and check Gateway and
NFS Client, then check Interfaces -> nve0, and when it
asks if you want it to configure DHCP and some other
stuff, select yes. This is for if you connect to the
internet with a router which you connect to your LAN
card or onboard LAN with an ethernet cable.

I hope this information helps out people having the
same problem.
