If the sound doesn't work now it probably never will, you could try opening it up yourself very carefully to get it out, the screws are on the back and I think there is a hidden one under the battery.

There are videos on youtube about how to open each model and you need a tri-wing screw driver to open any Nintendo product, they are cheapest from HK, you can order one with free postage from DealExtreme.com unfortunately that will take a couple of weeks to arrive.
