After trying for weeks to get it working, I finally just turned it off in bios and installed a SoundBlaster Live. Had it working in about 10 minutes. I bought the SoundBlaster for $6.00 plus $3.00 on eBay. If the Intel8x0 ALSA driver is ever fixed I can simply turn it back on, but I don't think that's likely. As someone explained it to me, the Intel8x0 is kind of like a winmodem style soundcard and will probably never work correctly under ALSA. So, save yourself some headache and maybe some gray hair and go buy a SoundBlaster.
