John,

One possibility is that you've got a very old Linux Kernel (2.6.18?),
which doesn't properly support the newer chipset/timer hardware on your
MoBo. I had this problem with ACID (CentOS 5.x) about 8 years ago. I ended
up hand-cooking 2.6.30.5 kernels, which included the kernel hi-res timer
support. That solved the garbled audio problem entirely.

See this ancient thread:

Anyone experienced this? I’m on CenturyLink ISP with the proper ports 
configured. I don’t find that opening ports makes much difference 
anyway, the packets seem to find their way.
