Obviously I can't 100% rule out the card, but I am leaning towards it not 
being that due to a few observations (not the least of which is, it seems to 
be fine in a Windows box).

That leads me to believe that I need to go back to the -29 kernel with the 
audio-dev ppa.  I notice that all the 430's in the table require "alsa git 
xxx", whereas the 220 seems fine with "alsa 1.0.24".

I will investigate that.  Thanks for your help!
