The integrated nForce2 audio is no good with Linux on my computer. Sure, the driver from nVidia, nvaudio, works perfectly, but it's still OSS! The intel-something-or-other driver sounds terrible! Every sound is delayed by a second, so videos are impossible and games are highly irritating. Pluss, if you play any prolonged sound (i.e. music or background music for a game) there is a noticeable statikey sound that can drive you nuts! The sound works fine if you settle for the OSS driver. It also workes fine on XP. :\
NOTE: Maybe this is just me, because I have heard others tell me it works just fine...
