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.
