It may be easier to just load the module.  Try adding it to your
/boot/loader.conf.  For a list of available sound modules try
grep ^snd /boot/defaults/loader.conf.  If you don't know what
your card is just type "kldload snd"
That will load all sound drivers and "dmesg" will show you which
one actually supports your card.  Once you know, put that one in
your /boot/loader.conf.  If your driver requires pcm, the loader
will load it as a dependancy.
