Out of curiousity, is yours a knoppix hdinstall?  I tried that a while
back and couldn't get any of my system sounds either.  After a HD crash,
I installed debian itself, and not only have I been much happier with a lighter system, but my system sounds
are back.  I also am running a 2.6.8 kernel. Not sure if this applies to
your case, but perhaps it will be helpful.

If it is a knoppix hdinstall, you can check these links
