asterisk users - Feb 2008 - Console/dsp, makes me sound like a Dalek

I need to set up the sound card of a server to use in an overhead paging 
system, as normal I am testing this on my home machine first (which has 
slightly different Hardware).

I'm using chan_alsa with the Intel HD Audio driver on an Intel 82801G 
(ICH7 Family) sound card.

I am running Asterisk 1.4.17 and have a fully loaded TDM400P as a timing 
source.

When calling console/dsp (using various methods) the output from the 
sound card changes the voice to sound like a Dalek, which looks similar 
to bug id# 0003005 from 2004, (to which the answer was to buy a better 
card).

The server that I will need to get this running on has an 82801EB/ER 
(ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 sound controller (and no expansion space left to put 
another card in).

Does anybody know if this can work with the above hardware?

Does anybody know where I should start looking to fix this?

TIA for any help with this matter.

When this happens to me, I switch.   If is sounds badly with Alsa, try OSS.

I thought sounding like a dalek was a good thing.

Just a suggestion, don't forget there are USB audio devices available 
that work with linux, you may have an extra usb port ;)

Not suggesting it because I've tried this for asterisk, just thinking 
outside the box  :)
