Wheezy/Testing Sound Problem

["Stephen P. Molnar" <s.molnar@sbcglobal.net>]

I have just re-installed Wheezy/Testing/Xfce on my production computer.
Te action was caused by a HD failure.  The sound was working before the
disaster.

The problem is that the sound is not working at this point, other that
clicking noises as the system is booting.
 
lspci -v as a user gave me (in part):

01:01.0 Multimedia audio controller: ESS Technology
ES1938/ES1946/ES1969 Solo-1 Audiodrive (rev 01) Subsystem: ESS
Technology Solo-1 Audio Adapter Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency
64, IRQ 17 I/O ports at e080 [size=64]
	I/O ports at e000 [size=16]
	I/O ports at dc00 [size=16]
	I/O ports at d880 [size=4]
	I/O ports at d800 [size=4]
	Capabilities: <access denied>
	Kernel driver in use: snd_es1938

I assume (always dangerous of course) that the next to the last line
is the problem.  I would appreciate a pointer to the solution.

Thanks in advance.
