Same problem here...Turtle Beach Santa Cruz PCI with CS4630 chipset in a Dell Optiplex 620. This card was working wonderfully in 9.04. I skipped the 9.10 upgrade after reading that support for this card was broken. I had to upgrade to 10.04 LTS to work on another project, and as mentioned above, the card is broken in 10.04 LTS. There are periods (10-15 seconds) of working sound, followed by "motorboating" for 5-10 seconds followed by working sound. When the sound is working, there is crackling. I played around with settings and tried a number of the fixes suggested in other forums and blogs, but nothing has worked so far. The card works wonderfully in Windows XP. This is a nice sound card that serves me well, and I really dislike throwing away working hardware because of buggy software support. Hopefully someone can find a fix and get it implemented.
