Cracking noises

hi, made my sound work with alsaconf, but i do have the described cracking noises.

the article reads:

Possible cracking noises can be avoided by adding the position_fix=2 optional argument for the module.

how can i do this? i've found the following line in my /etc/modules.conf:

Possible cracking noises can be avoided by adding the position_fix=2 optional argument for the module.

what do i have do add or change?

thanks for help!

Answer (very late ;)):

 1. try to find out if there is already a option line for snd-hda-intel 
    $ grep snd-hda-intel /etc/modprobe.d/*
 2. if there is already a line like "options snd-hda-intel <OPTIONS>" then you have to modify this and add "position_fix=2" at the end
 3. if there is no file make a new one in /etc/modprobe.d/ or use /etc/modprobe.d/options if available and add the following line {{{1}}} 

NetBSD note

I just wanted to mention that disabling the modem in BIOS solved a huge problem I was experiencing with the azalia sound chip in my T60p. With the modem enabled, I was only able to hear sound at less than half-volume through the headphone jack, and barely at the edge of hearing through the speakers. Disabling the modem now allows me to adjust the volume with mixerctl properly.
