That makes sense. Rob has given the answer earlier. You need to load the
driver in /boot/loader.conf.

No, /boot/loader.conf. But is your card a hda? It would help a lot if you post
the output of "pciconf -lv" relevant for the soundcard and/or show us what
exactly you are doing in /usr/local/etc/rc.d with that driver.
For example, this is mine:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:31:5: class=0x040100 card=0x016a1028 chip=0x24c58086 rev=0x01
hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
device = '82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller'
class = multimedia
subclass = audio
Driver loaded by:
# grep ich /boot/loader.conf
snd_ich_load="YES"

Ac97 is a codec used on a multitude of soundcards to produce pcm audio AFAIK,
so there's no specific driver for it.
