has anyone tried this here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7627817&postcount=98

my sound still is choppy and staticy at startup and ever since i tried skype and then removed it I get a high pitched beep at startup (plus the normal startup sounds). So I keep looking for any improvements.
If i use that alsa would I then have to specify my model again cause it won't have the patch in this thread?
