The GENERIC (default) kernel doesn't have sound compiled in, but it 
should be easy to get going with loadable kernel modules.

# kldload snd_driver

should probe all known sound devices, then

# cat /dev/sndstat

should tell you what specific module to name in loader.conf so that 
it is automatically available on subsequent reboots
