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

mixerctl.conf

MIXERCTL.CONF(5)					      BSD File Formats Manual						  MIXERCTL.CONF(5)

NAME

     mixerctl.conf -- audio mixer configuration file

SYNOPSIS

     mixerctl.conf

DESCRIPTION

     The /etc/mixerctl.conf file consists of mixerctl(1) variables to set at boot time.  Each line of mixerctl.conf has the following format:
	   variable=value

     To generate a mixerctl.conf from the current mixer settings, execute:
	   mixerctl -a > /etc/mixerctl.conf

     Set mixerctl to YES in rc.conf(5) to have the variables set at boot time.	Additionally, you can have the settings saved and restored for the
     devices of your choice by listing them in mixerctl_mixers in rc.conf(5).
