Drew, this may be a little off-topic, but I find that many of the sound problems I was having with my HP AMD x86_64 running the notorious Creative X-Fi sound card have been solved by updating to the Karmic beta with the 2.6.31 kernel. The stable version will be released the day after tomorrow ; you might want to consider giving it a whirl.... Henri
