Are you using the ubuntu kernel, or a self compiled kernel?  This is a 
problem I ran into last night, sound worked fine in the ubuntu kernel, 
ALSA and OSS, but building my own 2.6.12 kernel yeilded no sound.

I am still investigating my own problem, and have also posted the 
question here.  Don't know if it will help, but for the time being can 
you use ESD?

I know it's a daemon, but ESD has worked for me when all else fails.  I 
am also using ubuntu PPC so I'm betting the platforms vary, and may make 
it even less likely that there is a relation to our problem.
