youre problably having the same problem I just found a fix for. I have the same onboard soundcard only I have a desktop and my sound only seemed to work in amarok and kaffeine and not anything else. try both of these:

1. create a file in your home directory called .asoundrc and paste this into it:

pcm.softvolPhonon {
    type softvol
    slave.pcm "default:CARD=0"
    control {
        name "Phonon"
        card 0
    }
    min_dB -51.0
    max_dB 0.0
    resolution 100
    hint {
        show on
        description "Phonon"
    }
}

open up alsamixer (via the console) and unmute the phonon channel, exit and then type sudo alsactl store. next change the preferred sound device to 'phonon', if youre using kde its under system settings > multimedia

2. blacklist the snd-pcm-oss module in /etc/rc.conf
3. unload the snd-pcm-oss module by doing this: sudo modprobe -r snd-pcm-oss

heres a link to my thread, which has a few links with more detailed descriptions of what i just told you to do. hope this helps.

It seem that my card isn't detected anymore at all ... I can't open alsamixer at all !!!
there is some information about my current configuration to help to repair ...

lspci > 00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA)

sudo nano /etc/rc.conf > http://pastebin.com/m315f79fe

cat /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf :

#
# /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf (for v2.6 kernels)
#
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd slots=snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1
options snd-hda-intel index=0
options snd-hda-codec index=1
