I'm just assuming that you want to use ALSA now.  Install the "alsa-utils"
package and run "alsaconf"

I think these are the modules that you want to load (and alsaconf should
configure for you):

snd-ens1371
snd-intel8x0
snd-pcm-oss
snd-mixer-oss

A good idea would be to note all the modules before you run alsaconf (by
running "lspci | grep snd") and after running alsaconf.  Add any new
modules to your /etc/modules file.

Last, and certainly not least, run "alsamixergui" to set the volume levels
properly so that you'll actually hear something.
