harsh, crackly audio on new F8 install

I've seen a lot of advice to turn off Pulse to solve audio problems in the 
current release. I wouldn't mind trying to get it to work, but, I'm not sure 
where to go. This is on a laptop. I have a USB Creative Audigy card as well 
as the built-in sound system, and they both work. If I run the Soundcard 
detection applet, it plays nice crisp sound through the built-in audio 
card/speakers in the laptop. If I play a flash animation from CNN's website, 
it goes out through the Audigy to my Bose desktop speakers and comes out very 
harsh sounding with lots of crackling. I went through the Pulse settings and 
tried making the internal card the default, but nothing changed. I poked 
around in the KDE Control Center audio settings, but there's not a whole lot 
to change there, though I did try selecting Alsa as the audio device, but 
again, nothing changed. 

Where do I go from here? 

By the way, this is on an ASUS G2S-B2 which I queried about a few days ago, as 
to whether anyone was successfully running Fedora on it. After running 
through about 5 latest-edition distros and tearing my hair out for the past 5 
days, I reinstalled Fedora today, and for some reason, it went right on; the 
video card was recognized sufficiently to allow the nv driver to work, though 
it took some post-install fiddling with the various places where you can set 
video resolution, before I got it to come up in full 1920x1200 full color. I 
was then able to install the latest nVidia driver from freshrpm's, and it 
looks great. The only remaining hardware issues are this sound problem, and 
an inability to get the wireless nic to work - even though the driver for the 
latter is supposed to be built in to the kernel - but that's another subject 
for another thread.
