When you run Haiku natively you will need the HDA audio driver.
It is still not included by default so you will need to be able to
build haiku for yourself and include the driver or the HDA developer
can send you a version to try and I am sure they would be happy if you
helped debug the driver against your chipset.
The source can be found at
http://svn.berlios.de/viewcvs/haiku/haiku/trunk/src/add-ons/kernel/drivers/audio/hda/
Under Xen if you configure it to pretend to be a es1370 then I think
the OSS driver is required. You may need to do some additional
configuration in the Media Prefs. Sometimes audio drivers expose
multiple interfaces and connections which are not connected so you
will need to change and restart the service.
