'sysctl' settings (like 'hw.snd.maxautovchans=4') should be put in '/etc/sysctl.conf', not in '/boot/loader.conf'. Check sysctl.conf(5).

I have the following in my '/etc/sysctl.conf':

hw.snd.pcm0.vchans=4
hw.snd.maxautovchans=4

The first line will work only if your card is detected at system boot (with entries in '/boot/loader.conf' or statically compiled into the kernel).

Also 'snd_driver' will automatically load the required module 'sound' (it is the same including it or not; personally I include both).
