Getting the audio jack to work on a Intel NUC 10i7FNH

A bit of reading on the net helped me to do some troubleshooting, and I can confirm that the hardware works: the command "cat /dev/urandom | aplay -D hw:0,0 -f S16_LE -c 2" creates a sound on the audio jack.

Question is: How do I translate this knowledge info a configuration file so that I can play music through the audio jack?
Seems to me I need to make the OS (or some part of it) aware that this hardware exists and what its capability is.

Any help or pointers to documentation is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
