[Alsa-user] snd-intel8x0 - noise in sound

[Danilo R. <dan...@gm...>]

Hi, 

ive got a problem using alsa includes in kernel 2.6 ( 2.6.9 exactly, but i
have the same problem with older kernels too).

If i play something i have a noise in my sound. I tried setting some
parameters of the snd-intel8x0 module, changing pci latency timer (it cant
be changed on my system... :( ) and give old OSS/Free a try. With oss the
noise is away, so the alsa driver seems to be the problem. 

I have a Dell Inspiron 8200 with crystal ac97 chip, latest bios and all s/w
is latest,too. 

Ive read kernel alsa docs, but nothing written down there helped me. Any
suggestions? Special settings? I dont want to use oss, but what should i do?

Bye and all help is really welcome! Many thanks in advance!
Dan the frustrated one :/
