In the olden days I would have said IRQ problem, which it still may be. 
I'd check and see if there is some sort of conflict being related by
dmesg. Or use some of the system tools and see if they are handling your
device correctly. You may wish to turn the onboard sound off in the bios
and add a cheapo sound card. Might as well go for one that supports
surround sound or some other feature you cannot live without. Linux has
always had problems with most stuff crammed on the motherboard; video,
ethernet, sound, modems, you name it, it has caused some problems when
on-board. Only USB, as it it relatively new, seems to play nice. You
problem is, IMHO, is somewhere in a device conflict. You might want to
enable pcmcia to try that. Can't hurt to try. That part is free! Ric
