I will be little help here, but here goes:  I know you must determine
whether your card is ens1370 or ens1371.  I think there is a command
like scanpci that will show it in the list.  Kernel has setup options
for either under the Sound section.  After that I am lost:  my sound,
with ens1371 card was fine until I upgraded to kernel 2.4.2.  2.4.0, as
I recall was ok.  I run SuSE, and the configuration tool here now cannot
find my card, or if it does, cannot properly configure it.  I get sound
as you describe.  What kernel are you running?  Richard
