You should _not_ edit sound_config.h.

You need to specify 1) what version of FreeBSD you are using, and
2) exactly what problems you are having.

What errors are you getting [if any] when you try to play sounds?

The above configuration should work, if you have a PnP BIOS, otherwise
you will need to compile PnP support into your kernel.  How to do that
depends on what version of FBSD you're using.
