Sound on PowerMac G5

[Stephan Meyen]

Hello,

I bought a PowerMac G5 just 2 month ago and everything goes fine - except
sound (what a surprise). I pretty much understand that Apple uses
several different onboard-chipsets for sound. I also understand that my
chipset is behind a bridge, so lspci won't tell me too much. My dmesg
tells me something like

pmac: can't request resource 0!
no PMac soundchip found

So can anybody tell me a way to find out what chip exactly I have?

Sincerly,
Stephan

It says PowerMac 7,3 with 2 PPC970 revision 2.2 at 1.8 GHz. What do you
think? Is there any hope left?
