I don't know whether you came across this page or not 

  [http://www.spack.org/geek/thinkpad-390.html]

but it seems to indicate you need the opl3sa2 driver [which means it's
one of those bastard chipsets from hell, I know, there's one integrated 
onto my desktop PC's motherboard, it took forever to configure]

If you did try that, there's one more thing you might try: I actually had
to use pnpdump and isapnp to get my opl3 stuff working - I don't know if
that's going to be necessary on the laptop, though: nobody else seems to
mention it. 

It's probably also be worth your while to try the alsa drivers:

And there are a few TP390 sites linked from

[In case you didn't come across them]
