What was sensors-detect detecting? Please attach the complete log.

This is admittedly a strange behavior, I can't remember of a similar
report. Maybe you need to adjust the PWM clock. This is done by register
0 of the chip (which you can write to by running "isaset 0x295 0x296 0
<value>" as root). Default value is 1 and results in a 125kHz clock. You
can increase the value up to 127, resulting frequency being
125kHz/value. If you set the MSB to 1, the base clock changes from
125kHz to 1MHz (and again you can divide it by changing the 7 other
bits). I'd suggest you try this 

I doubt it'll really help, but if you have some spare time and really
want it to work, you may want to give it a try.
