I thought the new driver was working perfectly, but now I'm having some odd glitching at the beginning of any sound that plays. Once something is going, it's fine, but if the computer has been silent for a while, it will glitch again on the next sound. What's funny is I've actually gotten my other issues mostly solved now with some tweaking to BIOS settings - the box is running smoothly, and able to sleep and wake without losing the monitor or the USB devices.
I might try rolling back to the older 892 driver to see if it works better or if there's something else I've done lately that's fouled me up.
ETA: Huh, never mind. Reinstalled old driver, no glitches. Reinstalled new driver as a final verification - no glitches. Something else fishy musta been going on. Maybe I forgot to rebuild caches at some point recently and got stuff kinda wacky.
