Oh, I misunderstood the problem report.  I thought you were getting 
buzzing noise overtop of the sound that should be coming out.  True that 
a PCI card might fix you right up, but my 'diagnosis' goes right out the 
window.

At the very least, it would be worthwhile to boot a live cd and see if 
sound on a pristine environment works or not.
