This is something that has bugged me ever since I built
my Linux DAW.
When I boot up, when I start jack, when I open a web page with
Flash, when I get a licq message -- anything that uses my audio
driver, I hear a fairly loud low-end pop.
Is this common? Is it a known issue I can fix? I figure it's a
problem somewhere in the following (backwards) chain:
I get this as well (DA converter -> RME DIGI9632-PAD SPDIF out -> ALSA -> JACK)
But it only happens the first time I start Jack, after that it doesn't do it anymore
_unless_ I change which device on the card is being used by JACK.
My guess is that devices on sound cards have a default sample rate, bit rate or some other
type of setting and when something accesses the device and changes one of those settings,
it results in that pop sound.
