Bad sound with Audigy 2 -- emul10k1 or emul10k2?

[joneall]

Since installing Hardy, the sound frequently breaks up on my speakers. I notice it's using the emul10k1 driver. It seems to me that in Edgy it used emul10k2. Is this correct? Should I try reinstalling something?

Here's some lsmod info, it that is useful. Thanks in advance.

Re: Bad sound with Audigy 2 -- emul10k1 or emul10k2?

To make you feel better (well, I'll try), I have an Audigy 2ZS sound card in Kubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 and it worked out of the box when I installed it. It takes some getting used to with the volume/audio settings but it does work. I haven't experienced the 'breaking up' of the sound. Maybe there is a conflict somewhere?
