Hi Pat,
I downloaded and installed NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-195.36.24-pkg2.run. This
hasn't solved the issue.

well it's not just audio...it's video. But would alsa v. pulseaudio
cause problems with the geforce 8400 and not the 6200?
On another note, I removed the nvidia driver and tried the kmod driver.
I used the --uninstall command for the nvidia driver. It made no
difference. I do have the feeling there may have been some residual
configs left over from the nvidia driver...

Have you checked your motherboard bios for the right hd audio setting?
Is the bios the latest?
Try to switch from hd audio to ac 97 in bios and see what happens
Sometimes a bios flash does wonders

You could switch to using RPMFusion (link above).
If you install akmod-nvidia driver package, drivers get-auto-built every
time a new kernel boots.

Ok...driver version is as follows:
[GW@localhost ~]$ cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version
NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 195.36.24 Thu Apr 22
19:10:14 PDT 2010
GCC version: gcc version 4.4.3 20100127 (Red Hat 4.4.3-4) (GCC)
Although I've had to reinstall the proprietary nvidia driver after every
kernel update, I kind of like the controls better. It has more fine
tuning for brightness, etc... It also recognizes my LCD screen. I had
some issues with the other drives not recognizing the screen and having
limited resolutions, etc..

Yes Sir,
I even activated my onboard nvidia 8300 ( Asus M3N78-pro motherboard )
and the video and sound jumps around like crazy with it. I decided to
download a new kernel from "testing" and used it with the nvidia driver.
This did not solve the issue either. Once I switch the old geforce
6200LE everything falls into place.
I wouldn't have switched at if my daughter hadn't purchased a new game
which requires shading.
