I'm running a Dell Inspiron E1505 with the same audio card and have a similar problem after a botched partial upgrade to 9.04(that I didn't initiate; apt must have gotten confused somewhere...) . The only difference is that I only get "static"-like pops. Switching to OSS works just fine, but neither ALSA or PulseAudio work for me either.
Does PulseAudio just not play nice with this card?
