[gentoo-user] Bad sound card drivers?

[Grant]

I recently switched laptops and although the new one is faster, the
sound is much worse.  lspci reports the sound card this way:

ALi Corporation M5451 PCI AC-Link Controller Audio Device (rev 02)

The problem is I need to use a sip phone (sjphone) and I can barely
make out what the other person is saying.  Is there any way I can try
to improve the sound quality/performance?  I am using the in-kernel
alsa drivers.  Is it worth a try to emerge the ones in portage instead
or is that unlikely to help?
