Fixed / Solved Okay, after seeing Flarkit's response I decided to take a little action.
I was already using XFiDrv_Linux_Public_US_1.00 release version. I simply went back to where the driver had untarred the first time and did this (while booted in Kernel 2.6.27-11) sudo make: That got a lot of errors and most likely is not needed. I then did: sudo make install At the end of that I heard a pop from my speakers. I rebooted into 2.6.27-11 and I had working sound. Hope this helps.
