I ran into the same problem after installing a GT 240. The video cards
support audio via HDMI. During boot the audio chip of the video card is
found first (also snd_hda) and used as primary audio device.

After kldunload / kldload snd_hda everything would work properly.

As a workaround I do not load the snd_hda kernel module at boot, but
with a cronjob @reboot. This way the normal sound card is found first.
