Greetings:
I've narrowed down some parts of my current problems with sound. The
mouse is definitely a noise-maker: I move, I get a not-nice ripping
noise that tracks along with the mouse movement. I had hoped that the
problem would be the nVidia binary video driver, but the problem
occurs with the kernel sources driver as well. I've appended some
background info in case anyone sees an obvious flaw in the system.
A couple of things: I have no USB devices on this machine, so how
can I get rid of the usb-uhci stuff hanging off the same interrupt
as the SBLive ? Also, would it do any good to switch slots ?
Maybe your BIOS allows you to disable the USB controller ?
I've tried a number of different changes to
XF86Config, got no joy
from any. :( I've been working through the various suggestions from
the Audio Quality HOWTO, nothing has worked yet. I'm open to any other
non-$$$ suggested solutions...
Since your are using a kt133 based motherboard, may I suggest a BIOS
upgrade ? I had noise in my captured sounds for months until I dared
to flash my kt133 motherboard using a boot floppy image from the FreeDOS
project (be sure to chose "clean boot" or something like that).
Your problem obviously isn't the same as mine but this might help
though.
Best regards,
