This is a PnP card, I believe you said, so you may want to look at upgrading the sound driver. You'll have to run a decently current -CURRENT to do it though. Try asking about that on multimedia@freebsd.org, where our sound gurus hang out. I believe there is a driver for the SB's that is PnP aware. Sorry I missed that on the first pass.
