Sound card support is not included in the GENERIC kernel, so you'll
(as you guessed) have to compile your own.  Use /stand/sysinstall to
install the system sources (unless you're worried about hard drive
space, just have it install all the sources; then you can do source
upgrades later).  Then, check out the FreeBSD Handbook:

  file:/usr/share/doc/handbook/index.html

specifically chapter 7 for information on making a custom kernel.
