ATI SB600 - is a HDA bus controller. It's support is important to make 
sound work, but audio codec support is no less important. It is codec 
who actually manages all sound stuff. You can see it in "<HDA Codec: 
Realtek (Unknown)>".

You may want to try latest snd_hda driver from -CURRENT. It is source 
code compatible. Codecs support is much improved there.
