I'm wondering what kernel module the onboard sound uses, and wether
there's any module idiosyncrasies with it that might explain things?

Can you do `lspci -v | less`? When I do it, my PCI soundcard is listed
at the bottom, and this command will also show which kernel module is
in use. Once we know this we might be able to progress... perhaps.
