New subject: [linux-audio-user] Starts with a pop

30 Sep 2004

...
 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.
