Hi,

I have a Dell E1705 with an Intel HDA Controller that I'm trying to
get working correctly with FC4 (the race is on to see if I can work
all the little kinks out before updating to FC5 :).

Running system-config-soundcard, the test sound is played and sounds
perfect.  However, playing sound in any other app doesn't sound as
good.  It's crackly, like old vinyl, and quite a bit lower in volume.

Looking at s-c-s, the command it runs to play the test sound is
essentially:

aplay -D plughw:0,0 -N /usr/share/system-config-soundcard/sound-sample.wav

Running this directly, sound is great.  Removing the -Dplughw:0,0
results in sh crackly, subpar sound.

I don't know alsa configuration all that well, so I was hoping someone
here might be able to point me in the right direction.

Thanks,

- --

I have to decide between two equally frightening options.  If I wanted
to do that, I'd vote.
