This sounds like you don't have a soundcard configured. Do you have
the sound drivers in the kernel, or do you load them as modules?

If not, run "kldload /boot/kernel/snd_*" and have a look at /dev/sndstat
to determine which driver is attached to your soundcard (add the driver
to /boot/loader.conf).

Bye,
Alexander.
