A quick google shows that at least one person uses es1371 as the driver
for that card. Try "modprobe es1371", and if that doesn't work, check
the kernel's config to see if sound is modular.

That makes sense if the hardware is not configured (although to stop the
permissions problem, you should have just added yourself to group
audio).

Probably not the problem, my system (sound working) has them. They
represent different devices (according to devices.txt.gz, digital audio
with dsp being the first soundcard, dsp1, second).
