Have you tried different PCI cards? Or is the issue with a specific
model or chipset?

The first obvious step is to figure out if it is an application problem
or a kernel/alsa issue. I usually run 'aplay' or 'speakertest' with a simple
test file to figure that out.
If these work okay it's most likely an application problem.

This does not mean a whole lot to me. Could you send the kernel and alsa
version as reported by uname and /proc/asound/version?
