Since I don't know a lot about sound related issues, I can only give some 
inaccurate hints.
The way the audio hardware is used is controlled via several sound systems. This 
can be changed with the System Configuration Tool --> Sound System. The 
'hardware' tab gives you the choice between several sound systems that you could 
give a try: 'ALSA', 'OSS' and maybe others. Sometimes it could be useful to 
change other settings there and hear if they make a difference.
