Have you tried acpi=no in the lilo boot?

Note, acpi=off is NOT the same as acpi=no.

Just as a matter of interest why would  acpi=no or for that matter, any 
acpi= command affect the sound from VT8233 onboard sound chip ?

I have no idea what so ever.  I do know that prior to this, the audio 
playback would continually repeat segments making the whole sample sound 
like a stadium echo.  I can only speculate that acpi had some effect on how 
the audio card buffers are managed/interupted.

This is your onboard sound chip , so what did you do when you solved the 
problem in M9.1+M9.2 ?

   Sorry for the misunderstanding.  In 9.X I just did without sound But after 
over a year without sound I think it might be time to find a way to fix it or 
else get a sound blaster card. I have tried the alternate driver but that 
just changed the problem to having no sound at all.

yep.  That fixed it for me on 9.2.  Of course, then I did something to mess it
up again later.  Sound can be such a fickle thing sometimes
