Maximum RAM for Packard Bell iXtreme MC 9334 ?

[Norber]

I have a Packard Bell iXtreme MC 9334 with Ubuntu 10.10.
Bios: V0.27 of 10/27/2006
Sound card: board integrated.
The mother board has to slots of memory.
I have tried to install 2x2GB of RAM, but then the sound says "Salida boba" (spanish) in other words, it makes no sound, all works OK except the sound.
Then I have tried putting only 1x2GB of RAM, and then the sound card (board integrated) works OK again.

Is it possible with a bios upgrade to make the sound work OK with 2x2GB of RAM ?

Please, let me know any idea.
Thanks in advance.

I think it's a chipset limitation.

First of all: Thank you very much, Dansolo, for answering.

Are you sure it's a chipset limitation?
If it is, can a PCI sound card (other than the board integrated one) work with all the 4GB memory?
I am wondering if I could use 2x2GB memory if I buy a new sound card (PCI).

Thanks in advance.

Hmm. Actually, it might work. Give it a try, I guess.

this seriously sounds like a driver issue ive had the same issue with more than 2 gigs of ram with certain wifi cards bet if you try a card it will work fine
