Hm...Given that the sound card is integrated on the motherboard, will there be any bus conflicts if I install an Audigy card? Braun Brelin

Hello all,
I'm running with an AMD-64 system and a VIA integrated sound card. I've configured the card with alsaconf and it does work, but I'm finding the sound very disappointing. MP3's that played with good sound quality on my old system now sound distorted and "scratchy", as if I'm playing it too loud on an inferior quality speaker system. This works even if I'm using the same headphones I used on my old RH 9 system.
The VIA sound is probably AC97, which is a BAD chipset, IMHO. I'd buy a SoundBlaster Audigy2 ZS and be a VERY happy camper for a LONG time! Yes, it's a little pricy, BUT if you have a good sound system, you can't beat this puppy!
Is there anything I can do to tweak the quality of the sound playback? I'm using SuSE Professional Linux 9.3 (the 32 bit version, even though I have a 64 bit CPU).
