Mmh, it's probably just your IDE drive which is *not* accessed in DMA
mode. At least, that's what caused sound problems on my system. Before
playing around with "low latency" and "preemtive kernel" patches, try
the following:
Run "hdparm -d {drive}" and check wheter or not DMA mode is activated
for your drive. If DMA mode is not activated, try "hdparm -d 1 {drive}".
If hdparm is unable to enable DMA mode, chances are that your kernel
does not support your IDE chipset. Run lspci and make sure your kernel
was compiled with support for both your chipset and DMA mode.
