I was using the same driver for my pc, (but it was a sis sound card)... sound was pretty bad quality I downloaded the oss sound modules from http://www.opensound.com/ I know its like stepping back from the great work by ALSA, but in some cases, it might be better, works better for me sound is noticeably different. Might be a good fix until the ALSA driver gets fixed up.. Its a free download for personal use... http://www.opensound.com/download.cgi <snippet from site> "Open Sound System is now free for personal and non-commercial use and comes with a license key that will allow you to run OSS. The license key is valid for up to 6 months at a time after which you will need to download and install OSS again" been using it for 5 months now...
