You will need to add yourself to the audio group, and if you are using modules
(see addgroup)
you need to load these at boot time by adding these to /etc/modules:
sound
# My main sound module, does not seem to need any special options
es1371
lsmod output:
es1371 23876 2
sound 55480 0 (unused)
soundlow 348 0 [sound]
soundcore 2372 7 [es1371 sound]
tulip 30232 1
you may also want to get an audio mixer (package aumix, for some reason I have to run
this even though the software says it is NOT muted...you can use this utility to
adjust the volume--useful if you are using headsets...
