Googling for this turns up information about sound on a Toshiba with the
same soundcard:

The instructions involve some compiling, but the guy uses an older
version of Red Hat; newer kernels might have the driver included
already. The easiest thing for you could be to install a backport of the
2.6.16 kernel. (The required module is "atiixp", but the 2.6.8 version
might be too old to include support for your chipset.)
