[linux-audio-user] still have bad sound

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 ? 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...
