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?
