Hmmm...a couple of things. As I recall, you have to add yourself to the ????
group to be able to get sound. I don't know whether this is still the case or
not. (Somebody help me on this!)
Another thing is how you boot. Currently, I have to boot all the way into the
MacOS, then boot into Linux using BootX. If you're using miBoot or quik to
boot, then you may not be able to get sound because the Mac OS has to
initialize the sound driver, and that requires going all the way into the Mac
OS...but I'm using 8.6 for my Mac OS.
HTH, and I hope I'm right! :-)
