[solved] Audio driver for Apollo Lake onboard audio (Intel J3455)

I an Asrock J3455M, which is an Intel SoC. Last year when I set it up I only wanted to use it as a home server and didn't bother with audio support, but now I want to be able to output audio. However, neither ALSA nor PulseAudio find any audio device, which makes me suspect that a driver package is missing, but I don't know which? Can somebody here help? My audio device reports as:

$ lspci | grep audio
00:0e.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Celeron N3350/Pentium N4200/Atom E3900 Series Audio Cluster (rev 0b)

The kernel modules for Intel sound seem to be loaded though:

$ lsmod | grep snd

soundcore              16384  1 snd

How do I get this to work?

EDIT: I had forgotten to add my user to the audio group, that was all... the things you forget... *sigh*
