Audio synchronization problem

I will post this message in this forum because in Multimedia forum no one answered. Here it goes:
I have compiled kernel with alsa. alsaconf found my sound card module, loaded it, with alsamixer I changed sound volume. Now I HAVE sound, but it is out of synchronization. When I wath a movie with MPlayer or VLC, when I play Quake3, Enemy Territory. Sound comes to late for about 1s

That is really anoying. What can I do? The kernel is genkernel-2.6.15

Provide details, such as sound card model. Do you have a ~/.asoundrc :?:

No, I don't have that file. Sound card is:

00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02)

You may need to use dmix (see section "The simple approach").

Well that didnt worked out. There should be a simpler way to do this. Last time when I had Gentoo everything was OK. :\ Maybe it's sound cards module fault?

Maybe you could also help me with surround sound? I can't get is working. I unmuted everything with alsamixer.
