i too have an ECS mobo that isn't behaving well wrt to sound. Here's a 
c-n-p from a thread i started earlier ... don't know if anything in here 
will help.

Thank you both for the replies. I've logged in as root and made sure the
visible settings are set correctly. I also gave the "mplayer -ao alsa"
as shot, but no dice for me.  I do have some more info though.

Here is "lspci -vvvv" output (for the hardware):
http://www.liquidconfusion.com/lspci_vvvv.txt

Here is "lsmod" output:
http://www.liquidconfusion.com/lsmod.txt

Here is some output from xmms:
http://www.liquidconfusion.com/xmms_oss_error_dsp.txt

It appears as though something, somewhere, somehow (possibly me, no idea
how though) has changed the overall system-preference for sound to OSS
when that's not what I was using, nor want to use. And having decided
this will be the install that I finally keep and upgrade, I wanted to
ask before mucking around in settings I shouldn't.

Oh, here is the mobo I am using with an althon xp:

Thanks again for any help
