Issue with sound in FBSD 11.1 on 20" iMac Early 2008 (iMac8,1)

I recently (yesterday) installed FreeBSD 11.1 as the sole OS on my iMac.
I have KDE installed and working.
I tried a youtube video in firefox, and no sounds came from the speakers (which worked fine in Mac OS X)
I tried sudo cat /dev/random /dev/dsp, and no sound

Here are loader.conf, sndstat, and dmesg messages that seem to indicate "it oughta work"

How should I go about finding out if there is a misconfiguration?
