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

       usb_ah - USB audio HID STREAMS module

DESCRIPTION

       The  usb_ah  STREAMS  module enables the USB input control device which is a member of the Human Interface Device (HID)	class and provides
       support for volume change and mute button. The usb_ah module is pushed on top of a HID class driver instance (see  hid(7D))  and  below	an
       Audio Control class driver instance (see usb_ac(7D)). It translates the HID specific events to the events that are supported by the Solaris
       audio mixer framework.
