I had this on all my AMD/Athlon boards with the via sound chipset.  I 
found a reference to the problem, no solution, on one of the Skype 
BB's.  I finally just disabled the onboard sound and added cheap 
available sound cards and they all have worked great.  I've tried to 
get the via sound to work a couple of times after that, without success.
