Hello,
1 - Have you loaded the kernel module of your sound card ?
-> Make a lsmod and if you don't see snd_powermac, load it:
modprobe snd_powermac
2 - If you had loaded in user mode, maybe it is a problem of
permissions. You must to add your account in audio group :
adduser <you> audio
and make this permissions :
chmod 666 /dev/dsp
chmod 666 /dev/mixer
3 - Try to use alsamixer in command line and verify if Master isn't
mutted ( Press M to change).
