That seems to be the case.  Unfortunately, I didn't play with the sound
before upgrading to 2.6.20.

I have now built and installed the latest alsa drivers, set the option
forcibly to 3stack and then to auto, and still no dice.  Windows gives me
good sound; under Ubuntu, the right channel is utterly muddy.

Anyone else have tips?  It really sounds like a hardware problem, and if
Windows weren't sounding good, I would be at this thing with a
screwdriver.

Thanks,
