The group _sndio was created by the installation of the package. You can
check it by grep
% grep _snd /etc/group
_sndio:*:702:
or pw
% pw groupshow _sndio
_sndio:*:702:
The user nad group is used by sndio daemon.
You should enable the service and start the service.
service sndiod enable
service sndiod start
Kind regards
