    after searching for a fix for serious sam2 sound problem, i found that the via driver works on most of ac97 based onboard sound.

    download http://www.download.com/VIA-AC-97-Audio-Combo-Driver/3000-2120-10163027.html

    you won't be able to use the setup program if you don't have via chipset, but you can still update the driver in device manager.

    update driver->install from list(advanced)->don't search->install from floppy->point to WDM\Vinyl97.inf of the driver->update

    this driver removed the hissy noise from headphone, and fixed all my sound problem in any games. yes, the front panel buttons still work after you install this driver.
