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.
