I don't receive the same error as you (nor do I know what is causing your error) but I do get distorted audio when playing sound through that card. I'm not entirely sure if installing 4.x will be the best solution for your problem, since I can at least get audio through mine you might be able to get some also. I have a feeling interrupt storms are causing the crackled audio on my configuration, but I haven't bothered to track the source down. -- WXS
