    For starters, you'll need to compile in support for your soundcard. The
    handbook goes over this in great detail:
    http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/sound-setup.html

    Beyond that, as long as your video driver is working OK, you should be
    able to use mplayer just fine.

    Please note the differences between 4.x and 5.x in setting up sound
    devices. Be sure you are reading the correct instructions for setting it
    up in 4.x (more steps).
