[I have a Thinkpad T22 with a]
0000:00:05.0 Multimedia audio controller: Cirrus Logic CS 4614/22/24

Looks fine. This card is mentioned in the source for 2.6.15.6 vanilla.
Which version of the kernel are you using?

snd_cs46xx 85704 1
snd_ac97_codec 93088 1 snd_cs46xx
snd_ac97_bus 2304 1 snd_ac97_codec
snd_pcm_oss 53664 0
snd_mixer_oss 18688 1 snd_pcm_oss
snd_pcm 89864 3 snd_cs46xx,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss

It seems nothing [is] wrong. But my computer can only beep. When I use
it to play music or movies, I can't get any sound. What should I do?

ALSA generally starts up with everything muted. Fire up a mixer
(alsamixer should work) from a konsole/xterm , then make sure
everything's unmuted. If you're running KDE, and artsd is running,
artsd may have taken over the sound device. You can make artsd
auto-suspend if idle for N seconds, so do that in KDE Control Center.
Good values for N are 15 or 30. HTH,
