look at the dmesg, and search for pcm0, and see if all is ok.
in my case:
pcm0: <Nvidia nForce2> port 0xdc00-0xdc7f,0xd800-0xd8ff mem 
0xdd081000-0xdd081fff irq 20 at device 6.0 on pci0
pcm0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
pcm0: cannot reset channel 0
pcm0: unable to initialize the card
device_attach: pcm0 attach returned 6

by chance, i disabled agp and sound is now working!

...
pcm0: <Avance Logic ALC650 AC97 Codec>

go figure!
