You must set the output gain to 0 or below db, if not - what you get is distortion.

alsa is known to have certain driver issues with some chipsets. Try OSS4 if the speakers have worked prior to this without much trouble.

My ac97 works about 10x better under OSS4 then alsa.

Try setting the PCM volume to about 90%, I have found that at 100% it can sometimes cause a bit of noise.

+1 for OSS4. I had all sorts of issues with alsa and my laptop, I have changed to OSS4 and everything that is sound related works perfectly with crystal clear sound quality.
