strange a bios writer would not consider need to disable. jumpers maybe?
what is board make, model? bios version?

1 & 3 made me do some more thinking and that it is definitely pulseaudio,
so i took a look at   http://www.pulseaudio.org
and found there to be some problems.

searches as: ac97, sbo-400, then "audigy 2" using quotes.

these are hits and traces;

knowing your system, you can probably dig further and get a better idea
of what to try.

i am up for another hour or two, reply with [2] and i will have another
look around. :0)
