This system looks a lot like my R4000. It's got the same video chipset
(Radeon XPress 200M) so my bet is it has the ATIIXP audio chipset as well.
I have my sound driver built into the kernel on this system (as I now
run Gentoo on it), but I had F9 on it until a couple weeks ago without
trouble. You say lspci doesn't show anything?
Can we see the output?
