I have sound, but it sounds horrific.  It's very scratchy--even system
sounds from Gnome sound bad.  Also with sound on my clock keeps jumping
forward.  My system seemed to act fairly good with sound turned off in
my BIOS.

What kernel modifiers are you using?  I've tried every combination of
noapic, noapci, apic=off, and acpi=off.  With acpi=off my system just
doesn't boot.  None of the other options have any effect.

Also, do you remember what you did with the sound mixer?  I don't see
anything in there that might have any effect on the playback.  All I see
are volume controls.

To mitigate the clock problem I'm thinking about running a cron job
every 5 minutes that does

hwclock --hctosys

I know it's not a great solution, but my hardware clock at least has
some hope of being fairly close to correct.  I usually shut my machine
down at night, so I know that the hardware clock will be set correctly
in the morning since I have NTP enabled.
