@cowseye

you could try from the terminal/ssh to list your sound cards:

aplay -l

Then assign the correct card accordingly (either from ES or Kodi as @joinski has suggested)

Archlinux wiki is has great info on troubleshooting alsa: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Advanced_Linux_Sound_Architecture#Unmute_with_amixer

Here is my example from my box: (aplay -l)
