Since both set of test tones worked for you, what application is it that fails?
In addition, you're saying your system responds slowly - can you see if any
process is eating CPU through e g gnome-system-monitor or top?

[HDA-Intel - HDA Intel] Playback problem
I first noticed the problem playing flash video, Shockwave Flash plugin 10.0
r32 in Firefox 3.6.8. Now I notice that the Ubuntu startup sound doesn't play
all the way through. I probably would have thought the sound problem was a
symptom rather than a cause, except for the syslog messages
Just to get a feeling for how much the load is, could you attach/paste
the output of sudo top -b -n 1?

For a sense of comparison, I was working on a (less capable) machine the
other day that was getting DDOSed; it had a system load in the 30s and
it was more responsive (and easier to type on) than this machine.
