Hi folks.
I've just upgraded my laptop (Sony Vaio PCG-GRT996VP) from FC1 where I
had no sound to FC3. I now have sound, with the mixer reporting the
sound driver as SiS S17012. I can't see anything in modules.conf or
modprobe.conf relating to sound though, which is surprising.

The problem I have is that although the volume controls work, the sound
that I hear is stuttered, as though the needle on a record is sticking.
Anyone know how I fix it?
Sadly there may not be an easy fix for the soundquality... However you
may want to try and search http://alsa.opensrc.org for this card (which
uses the intel8x0 driver) for some driver options you could add to the
modprobe.conf fiile and see if that imporves your sound quality.
