You can have these information installing kernel-doc and have a look at:

/usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-2.6.17/Documentation/sound
(if your kernel is 2.6.17)

did you run the "dectection of sound card" from the gnome menu? If yes
did it find the card?

Have you a /proc/asound/ directory and, if yes, what is inside?

Try to run alsamixer from a terminal and see if you speakers are unmute
