I'm running karmic on a bunch of computers....   and just installed it on my 
first 64 bit computer....   built-in sound on the MB.  (also a first for me)

Since I run XFCE which has minimal sound setup, I ran  systemssettings  from 
KDE and selected <something other than PA> and sound now works fine.

I think you could get the sound to work...   and just bypass PA altogether.

Note:  I always install fresh....

Not trying to be in your face...  just giving my experiences with karmic and 
sound.
