I can play CDs through the sound card fine.
I can play *.wav files from elsewhere using wavplay or play, and they sound fine. If I use wavrecord, and then wavplay, I hear a slow-mo version of what I recorded.
....
Any ideas why "play" seems to work fine, but
"record" is messed up?

'cat /dev/sndstat' will show 2 different bitrates for play and record.

I have the same built-in sound system on my motherboard. I just added another sound card for sound input.

It's actually nice having two sound cards.
