Sound playback problem

[Leo]

After installing 2007 next to a fully functional 2006 when I attempt to play any sounds (from beeps to ogg files) I geta tiny fraction of the sound played a number of times before the next fraction of sound is played and so on until I get sick of it and kill whatever is playing the sound (rhythmbox, play, sound config tool).

 

$ lspcidrake -v | grep AUDIO

returns

snd-via82xx	 : VIA Technologies Inc.|VT8233 [AC97 Audio Controller] [MULTIMEDIA_AUDIO] (vendor:1106 device:3059 subv:147b subd:1408)

possibly this should be in hardware but I am not sure.
