 At startup, pbbuttonsd complains that it can't find /dev/mixer, and aRts 
 complains it can't find /dev/dsp (in both cases, ls -l can't find them 
 either). Similarly, amixer info says it is unable to find any devices. 
 Nothing in KInfoCenter, lspci or Apple's System Profiler seems to give 
 any information on any sound hardware.

 I've tried a dpkg-reconfigure of aRts, reinstalling the arts and  
 libasound2 packages, and installing alsa-tools, without success.

 Does anyone have any other ideas?

Try (as root):

modprobe snd_pcm_oss

If that works then you can add snd_pcm_oss to /etc/modules to make sure
that it is loaded at every boot.
