I gave up and just pulled a separate sound blaster card out of an old machine and disabled my on board sound. I also pull an old separate geforce 6200 card and am using that in place of my on board 8200 because the 8200 generates a bunch of nasty artifacts when using compiz-fusion. So much for the little upgrades I was hoping to get with this new mobo. I really appreciate the help, thanks again.

I gave the realtek download a try and ran the installer -- sound still has static. ffi, is it worth going through the steps you mentioned or is that redundant at this point?

My modprobe.conf file looks different. I don't know if it's messed up from all of the driver changes I was trying, here it is: install scsi_hostadapter /sbin/modprobe ahci; /sbin/modprobe ata_piix; /bin/true install ide-controller /sbin/modprobe amd74xx; /sbin/modprobe ide_generic; /bin/true install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe ehci_hcd; /sbin/modprobe ohci_hcd; /bin/true alias wlan0 hostap_pci alias eth0 r8169 alias sound-slot-0 nvaudio alias pci:v00001260d00003873sv00001385sd00004105bc02sc80i00 hostap_pci remove snd_hda_intel /sbin/modprobe --first-time -r --ignore-remove snd_hda_intel install snd_hda_intel /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install snd_hda_intel remove nvaudio /sbin/modprobe --first-time -r --ignore-remove nvaudio install nvaudio /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install nvaudio remove snd_intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --first-time -r --ignore-remove snd_intel8x0 install snd_intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install snd_intel8x0 remove ali5455 /sbin/modprobe --first-time -r --ignore-remove ali5455 install ali5455 /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install ali5455 remove audio /sbin/modprobe --first-time -r --ignore-remove audio install audio /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install audio remove snd_usb_audio /sbin/modprobe --first-time -r --ignore-remove snd_usb_audio install snd_usb_audio /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install snd_usb_audio remove via82cxxx_audio /sbin/modprobe --first-time -r --ignore-remove via82cxxx_audio install via82cxxx_audio /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install via82cxxx_audio

I just installed Mandrive 2008 Spring on my system after I installed a new mobo (Biostar TForce TF8200 with integrated GeForce 8200) and the sound is working but terrible. It has a lot of interrmittent static. I've tried switching audio drivers around without much effect. Can anybody offer me some help please? I've been a long time Mandrake/Mandriva user and this is just driving me nuts.
