I bought a used cyclades card, and it works well with Linux, however...

The SB soundcard ocassionally distorts, I changed it's DMA buffers, and it 
still squeels once in a while, when I jiggle on the Cyclades card, the 
problem goes away temporarily. 

Do these companies that make 'Clones' make their boards differently? The 
card looks exactly the same as the manual says it should, is there a way 
to know if I bought a clone in  a cyclades box? (I did buy the thing 
used, so it's possible) 

Clone or no clone, I like the card, it mostly works well. :-) 

Thanks.
