I had problems with the built-in sound card on my motherboard, too. It worked fine until I purchased and began playing a Quake2-engine-based game.

I haven't tried it myself. http://www.alsa-project.org/ FWIW, it's existed for a few years now and has recently been merged into the 2.5 branch. I fixed my problem by getting a SoundBlaster Live! Value card for ~$40 at a computer show. (They can be had for about this price on the web, too.) -- Bill Jonas * bill@billjonas.com * http://www.billjonas.com/ Developer/SysAdmin for hire!
