Alsa drivers are a Linux-only thing.  You should be able to get sound
working by doing:

kldload snd

Then, when you figure out which exact sound driver to use (e.g.
snd_via8233), you can add it to /boot/loader.conf.  For example:

snd_via8233_load="YES"

Then you'll have sound every time you boot.
