I am really confused now.. I have no idea what I have done, but it seems like it sounds pleasant now, as compared to what I got previously. I can only remember I changed all the ALSA as my sound driver for all option in the Sound Preferences, and I disabled software sound mixing (ESD) in the Sounds tab.
Hmm.. could anyone explain to me the relevance of what I did with the sound? I know I will never get to learn anything if I just 'let it be since it is fixed'.

Could you run "lspci -v" as root and post the output that is associated with
your sound card or sound hardware?
