Do you mind sharing the mainboard make, model and serial number? Or a link to
it's specs on the manufacturer's website? Or a link to the sound chip /
chipset documentation? I have an electronics engineering tech background and
wouldn't mind taking a look. Also, which sound module(s) are being loaded?

It is an "MS-6534 Micro ATX Mainboard" form MICRO-STAR with Award bios
(there are no updates for that one, only for the Ami bios). I downloaded
the manual time ago, perhaps here:

http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/download/dld/spt_dld_list.php?kind=1&CHIP=17&NAME=Archives
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/download/dld/spt_dld_detail.php?UID=298&kind=1

specs:
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=40


The manual was 6530v11.exe or perhaps E6534v1.0.exe:

6530v11.exe: MS-DOS executable PE for MS Windows (GUI) Intel 80386 32-bit, UPX compressed

which can be decompressed in linux with "upx", and yields a rar file.
Uncompresing the rar yields the pdf (weird! but saves some space). I could
email it to save time.

Let me extract some info:

Intel® ICH2 chipset (360 BGA)
- - AC97 Controller Integrated
- - 2 full IDE channels, up to ATA100
- - Low pin count interface for Winbond SIO
...
H/W Audio (Optional)
C-mediaCMI8738-6CH-LX
Supports 6 channel Audio
AC97 2.1 compliant
S/W Audio
2-channel Audio Codec
4-channel Audio Codec (Optional)
AC97 2.1 compliant

...

Audio: Chip integrated

It doesn't say much... well, it has 2 speakers, but can be swithced to
have 4 or 6 speakes, loossing line in and line out. So I use only two.


hwinfo gives better info:

I'd be very surprised if this thing can have two dsps simultanously.
