I had the same symptoms on a Powerbook. Have you installed the modules?
insmod /lib/moddules/"kernel version"/misc/dmasound.o
insmod /lib/moddules/"kernel version"/misc/soundcore.o
lsmod to see if they loaded.
I have to load them manually. Then everything works. Does anybody know how
to load them automatically and why they do not?
