The sound modules all begin with snd_ > You might try kldload snd_pcm There are two ways I've gotten sound drivers to work. One is by building a kernel with a "device pcm" line the config file. The other is to put a load line in /boot/loader.conf. The appropriate module is dependant on your hardware. If you know the hardware you have, though, you can make some educated guesses and grep a strings -f output to narrow the list.
