Hi,
The module you need is 'es1371' for the Vibra 128 chipset. I put this on
a line in /etc/modules so it gets loaded up each time. If you haven't
done so already, you also need to add yourself to the audio group:
adduser your_name audio
And also change the permissions on the audio devices:
chmod o+rw /dev/dsp*
chmod o+rw /dev/mixer*
After that you should have sound. At least, that works for me.
Jon.
