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

NAME
aupanel - allows user adjustment of Network Audio System device attributes SYNOPSIS
aupanel [-audio servername] [-device id] [-interval seconds] DESCRIPTION
aupanel provides an X-based window-oriented interface allowing the user to adjust the attributes of the devices provided by the Network Audio System service. OPTIONS
The following options may be used with aupanel: -audio servername This option specifies the Network Audio System server to contact. -device id This option specifies the initially activated audio device on the server. If the id is a decimal number n, the nth device returned by the server is used. If it is a hexadecimal number (starting with 0x) it is used as the resource identifier of the desired device. Otherwise, id should be the exact device name (e.g. Stereo Channel Output). You can use auinfo to query an audioserver for this information. -interval seconds aupanel queries the device attributes in regular intervals with a default length of 10 seconds. With this option a different inter- val length can be specified. Using an interval length of 0 disables the automatic querying. Additionally, options from the Athena Widget Set can be used. AUPANEL AND THE ATHENA WIDGET SET
aupanel uses the X Toolkit Intrinsics and the Athena Widget Set. For more information, see the Athena Widget Set documentation. ADJUSTING DEVICE ATTRIBUTES
To adjust the attributes of a device, select the desired device from the Devices menu. The device gain may be adjusted using the Gain slider. If applicable, the device input mode can be toggled between Line-In and Microphone by clicking on the appropriate box. If appli- cable, the device output mode can be selected by clicking on the Speaker, Headphone, and Line-Out boxes. Some output devices may support combinations of these selections. To query the current device attributes, click on the Query button. To mute (resp. unmute) the current device, click on the Mute button. ENVIRONMENT
In addition to the standard toolkit environment variables, the following environment variables are used by aupanel: AUDIOSERVER This variable specifies the default audio server to contact if -audio is not specified on the command line. If this variable is not set and the -audio is not specified on the command line, aupanel will attempt to connect to the audio server running on the X Window System display. SEE ALSO
