Looks like our junk is similar - Intel chip

I had lots of sound problems until I moved to a 2.6.30 kernel. You'll 
note that all the sound modules have very different sizes from yours. 
And your driver version is 1.0.18a while mine is 1.0.20.

I dumped pulse when I was having the sound problems, but it made no 
difference.

I'd recommend a kernel upgrade.

Regards,

John
