Hello bitwarrior,

Sorry, this is not an answer. I have the
same problem. My 00:11.5 listing is the
same. I was so happy to finally get ALSA
on the new KNOPPIX release and hear
sound. Certain mp3 and wav compression
rates cause very sever static. I was about
to buy a "real sound card" although I hate
to use my one slot in my ITX box for that.

I run KNOPPIX from CD with no hard drive
and a USB 2 CDRW.

So please, if you encounter an answer elsewhere
post it here.

Best Wishes
