I recall seeing someone say that setting in the XF86Config-4 file the
following made a difference in sound working properly for them:

Option "PciRetry" "true"

You could serve as a guinea pi^W^W baseline if you would try adding this
option.  

Looking...Here is the original message.  Hmmm, it's this same thread :(
so you've probably already seen it and it didn't work.  But doesn't hurt
ot post it again.

Good luck

Subject: [Cooker] suggestion for systems with VIA sound chips

There is a problem which exists on many systems with VIA 82C686 sound
chips
where X causes the sound to become crackly.  This behavior can be fixed
by adding the following to the Device section of /etc/X11/XF86Config-4:

        Option "PciRetry" "true"

Would it be possible for DrakX to, if it detects the presence of this
sound chip, to make this addition?
