Well, you have two problems, neither of which is related to FreeBSD:  1)
if you are to have any chance of a working installation, you need to
disable the VIA sound chip on the motherboard--read the manual, there's
usually a large, block jumper for this purpose (the BIOS disable doesn't
work because it doesn't block auto-detect--it's useless); 2) some VIA
boards won't play nice with Soundblaster Live! at all--it creates PCI
contention issues (a BIOS Flash upgrade "might" help).
