I am including my dmesg output and my kernel > conf (which did not change). Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I see 3.x sound devices. For example, FreeBSD 4.x uses "device pcm". Your dmesg shows a Crystal Sound card, which requires a "device csa". See http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/x8615.html. Don't forget to remake your /dev/snd0. I don't have Crystal Sound card so this is only from reading the Handbook and from using SoundBlaster audio equipment. I have been replacing anything that requires the "device sbc" option.
