If you have an audio cable connecting your CDROM drive to your
sound card, you can play CDs without your sound drivers being
configured properly. In fact, the sound doesn't even go through
the CPU.
I nothing about FreeBSD, but check your sound drivers to make
sure they are working. If you're suspicious of X apps (though
that shouldn't matter), use command line programs to test the
sound. In Linux, I would 'cat somefile >/dev/audio' just to
see if I get any output.
