software rendering causes bad sound

Normally my sound sounds good but if I have a game or other application that uses software rendering graphics the sound sounds bad. I want to fix this but I don't know how.

Re: software rendering causes bad sound

Be less vague. *What* game(s)?

Define "bad" with more detail. Crackling? Silence? Chipmunk impressions?

Doom3 and Quake4 for example are happiest with a buffer_size of 8192.

Here's my ~/.asoundrc, for reference.
