*has no Linux CD*

Update: have started to encounter garbling and skipping from audio tracks before they fail out of my previous 'safe periods'.

I figure that I can find a cheapo sound board either from the family parts bin or from Wal-Mart without much trouble, but if this is hardware, is it likely to stop at just the sound chips or keep creeping outwards until the entire thing goes?
