Switched from openbox to Awesome, now i get no sound! [SOLVED]

Hi all,

I have just switched from openbox to awesome and within awesome i get no sound, but if i swith back to openbox i get sound.
Within awesome i get this output whenever i run any command that requires sound!

ALSA lib confmisc.c:768:(parse_card) cannot find card '0'
ALSA lib conf.c:4154:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_card_driver returned error: No such file or directory

ALSA lib pcm.c:2211:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default

Try running /usr/lib/openbox/xdg-autostart after logging in. Awesome does not run autostart files and could thus not be starting a program that you need for sound.
