I agree with the above. I have never had the built in audio work on my
mobilepro 880. Then again, I never tried very hard and I don't have a
headset for it anyway.

Mine has USB, and I'm using a USB audio adapter (Turtle Beach
something or other which works on USB 1). I'm sure there are old
PCMCIA sound cards out there somewhere... I'm sure NetBSD supports
something related to it too.

On mine, if I try to do anything else at all, the sound breaks up. I'm
using madplay. If I don't do anything else, it works fine, but the
minute I type "ls", the sound quality suffers, probably for lack of
I/O I guess.
