I don't know well freebsd, nut I know that on linux, many strange sound
issue comes from hardware issues, misconfigured kernels or the video
card acting like it is the only device in the system. This video
card priority issue can be fixed by setting higher IRQ priorities
for the sound cards than for the other hardware devices. I don't know
if or how this is possible to setup in freebsd.

Best,
