What's being detected is the AC97 audio in the VIA chipset, not your MB's
external ALC650 audio. As the audio on the chipset is not wired in, you
get nix out. You don't show it but your dmesg probably is listing the
unknown PCI id for the ALC650, which I don't know the FreeBSD support
status of.
As your BIOS would most likely be initialising the audio hardware, it
doesn't surprise me that playing a CD through it would work (I've seen
similar before with unsupported sound cards).
