Audio support for clamshell iBook - Xubuntu Hardy Heron

I am not able to hear any audio on my G3 iBook. What should I do to get it working?

When I hit the volume keys with or without Fn, nothing happens, except I hear the HDD clicking. Same for the mute key. The sound pref panel displays the built-in device as an audio out, but I get no other options - nothing for controlling the volume, even.

I tried googling for an answer, but nothing came up.

The machine is an original clamshell iBook:
300 Mhz G3
576 MiB RAM
6GB HDD
Xubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04
Kernel version 2.6.24

play(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   play(1)

NAME

       play - play any sound file to audio device

       rec  - record audio to any sound file format

SYNOPSIS

       play [fopts] infile [effect]

       rec [fopts] outfile [effect]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page briefly documents the play and rec commands.

       play  and  rec are programs that allow you to play and record different types of sound files from the command line.  They are front ends to
       the more general sox(1) package.  Normally, the play command will automatically detect the type and other parameters of the  soundfile.	If
       it can't do so, the parameters can be changed through options.

OPTIONS

       A summary of common options are included below.	For a complete description of options and their values, see the sox(1) man page.

       -c [channels], --channels=[channels]
	      Define the number of channels in the file.

       -d [device], --device=[device]
	      Specify a different device to play the sound file to.

       -f [format], --format=[format]
	      Specify bit format of the sample. One of s, u, U, A, a, or g.

       -r [rate], --rate=[rate]
	      Specify the sample rate of the audio data (samples per second).

       -s [size], --size=[size]
	      Specify the width of each sample.  One of b, w, l, f, d, or D.

       -t [type], --type=[type]
	      Specify audio file format to use.  Useful if it can not be automatically determined.

       -v [volume], --volume=[volume]
	      Change the audio volume

       -x , --xinu
	      Reverse the byte order of the sample (only works with 16 and 32-bit data).

       -h, --help
	      Show summary of options.

	      Show version of play/rec.
