The 5.1 kernel doesn't enable sound by default. You just have to 
rebuild the kernel, which you can do by following the instructions on 
this page: 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html

As long as you're careful it'll go fine. All I had to do was copy the 
generic kernel config file, add a "device pcm" line to the custom 
config file, and rebuild the kernel using the config file.

It's not hard if you take your time.
