Audio drivers can`t be installed

Strange Sound.
When I trig some event which will make some sound.Sound don`t come out immediately,but about 2 minutes later it comes out.For example, I click
the "Test Sound" button in "Settings:/sound", 2 minutes after i just can hear the Testing-sound.
So how to deal with it.Thanks

Don't post the same message in two different sections of the forum.  Its just not good form.

Anyway, what hardware have you got and what drivers have you tried?

Re: Audio drivers can`t be installed

I`m sorry to do that.I just want to solve this problem as soon as possible。
My hardware is 'SigmaTel High Definition Audio CODEC'(PC is DELL C521),I used #pacman -Sy alsa-lib alsa-utils to install the driver.

I'd disable Sound System (arts) whatsoever and set Notification Player (Advanced in System Notifications) to aplay, mplayer or whatelse.
