Hi there guys.
I bought my first note book and I 'm very excited, this not the latest intel
in the market, but does what I nedd.
But, I'm having problems with the sound driver, I 'm geting distortions when
I switch from consoles or if I do an scroll, or ls.
I had this kind of problem before with some clones, but the procedure
followed bebore did not work.

This is my config.

With the clones, I alway solved the problem, as suggested in the mailing
list by increasing the buffersize including it in the device.hints
file, but that did not work and dev.pcm.0.buffersize never get increased,
always stays in zero.

Thanks in advance, and for you time.

I'm using 7-0Release Stable.
