Hi Mike,

I've got etch on a Thinkpad T40, and I recall having sound problems at first 
till I set the two "Jack Sense" switches to "off" (they are on by default, 
which means you hear nothing unless something is plugged into the jack 
sockets - almost a bug?). I used Kmix to switch them; but alsamixergui or 
gmix etc. will do it too.

This may not be related to your problem but it might be worth a try.

Regards,

John
