You need to make a custom kernel that supports your sound card. If you have not configured and installed a new kernel, you need to take a look at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html. You may also find a lot of help by searching the mailing list archives on www.freebsd.org for your specific sound card model. You may also look at /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC (kernel configuratuion) and /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT for specific support for your sound card.
