I'm getting closer to testing my new Delta
1010.
Are there any more reports of problems with the device?
I'm hoping there won't be. Hearing that some people get a "hiss"
noise is scary.
I'll be tracking 2 angles tomorrow with my hiss problem: 1) put the
card in another computer and; 2) failing (1), opening up the case and
checking capacitors. I've been reading a bit this week about burned out
capacitors.
... more tomorrow after I get my hands dirty.
I had the same problem with a Delta1010LT. It was running great on
Ubuntu Studio with a VIA MiniITX board that died on me. I replaced the
mobo with a Jetway VIA Nano and installed Debian amd64 and I got the
notorious hiss.
So I took the card out and now it's running in a WinXP box with no
issues. So it's definitely not the capacitors. I think the sound of dead
capacitors would be more like AC hum.
Might it be a PCI interrupt priority issue? I only have one PCI slot in
the board so I couldn't test that.
