Hi, I've install the newest ALSA (1.0.9b) for my Intel HDA soundcard.
And the good news is that it supports hardware-based mixing, and the bad news is that
the sound quality is worse, and always skipping....

any suggestion?

I'm having the same problems. The sound quality is totally fucked up (sorry). There is allways an annoying crackle in the speakers.

Also, I don't think that this is hardware mixing, only a dmix plugin enabled by default (1.0.9).

I don't have Intel HDA, but I have noticed that ALSA likes to skip and pop if compiled into the kernel. Make it a module and see if it is better.

Use latest alsa-drivers and
add
Code:

options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1

to /etc/modules.d/alsa

This should fix the scrappy noise (if not, try options snd-hda-intel position_fix=2)
At least this fixed mine :-)
