Maybe it is a driver issue. I suppose your iMac is the latest generation (late 2009?) but the distributed alsa drivers are usually older. You can check how the hardware is detected in the hardware tab of the audio settings or "lspci | grep Audio" and see how it fits with what's actually in the computer. You can also try to install linux-backports-modules-alsa and see if that provides better driver.
