Just wanted to tell that after putting earphones to the Mac, the sound comes. Appearently it is only the internal speaker which does not work.Just for the record: My Pismo shows the same behaviour, the 'compatible' file in /proc/device-tree says 'screamerawacs'.
I'm not completely sure, but some of these machines have the sound output routed to an external I2C "SRS"/ampilfier module that drives the speakers. We have code to set it up via Cuda on older machines, but not for newer Core99 machines. An interesting note also: When using this external module, Darwin driver "fix" the AWACS volume to a constant value and uses the amplifier volume control via I2C.
