No sound on an IBM T60

Hi all,

Hate to clutter the forums as this seems like a popular topic but I have searched far and wide on the wiki and found no solution. Basically it seems as if my sound card is being recognized, but no sound is coming out..... Before you ask I have unmuted the sound (via alsamixer), but I haven't messed around with ACPI. I'm really at a loss here.

Output from lsmod | grep '^snd' :
