Yeah, that's pretty much what I figured too... Since the card isn't PNP,
I told sndconfig manually what the jumper settings were, and when it
played the demo sound files, they sounded just fine... but when I use
x11amp or mpg123, the sound comes out absolutely awful... more static than
anything else so something is definately not right. I'll fiddle a bit
when I reinstall and put 6.1 on here tomorrow, but I have a feeling I
might be going with OSS since I know it worked good under SuSE.
