I experienced a similar situation on an ECS mobo with onboard via8233
chipset.

Made following changes to /etc/modules.conf
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-via82xx

options snd-via82xx index=0 dxs_support=4

Try different settings in dxs_support=n

That fixed up the quality problem.

Lots of luck,

Brian
