Hi Chris:
Well, the soundcard is an SBLive Value that I've used for quite a
while without problems.
Yes, I'll try removing things and seeing what happens next. The nVidia
driver is the first to go...
Best,
dp

my system. The problem
appears to be either JACK, the video driver, or maybe something to do
with disk I/O (? it's an ext3 system). If anyone else out there is
using a similar setup please let me know if you've done anything
special to reduce digital noise.
Machine is an 800 MHz AMD w. 512 MB RAM, system is Planet CCRMA RH 9.
Maybe it's your sound card. I know that my crap laptop sound card
definitely responds to keyboard, mouse, and cpu activity. Maybe
though it's some kind of audio buffer problem. What happens to audio
if you don't run X?
Best way in theory to troubleshoot is to divide the problem in half by
taking away half of the pieces, and iterate until you find it. In
practice it can be hard to determine where "half" is. Try no X :)
