Hi! Trying to kill the keyboard, afcoman@sfu.ca produced:
What I meant was that the same CD's sound better under NT. In Linux there is a background noise, but not all the time.
Linux has a lot of daemons running most of the time, and some do acces the HD. Both -- especially HD-activity --do tend to create disturbances in the power supply which are hard to filter on a sound card. Sometimes it helps to move the sound card far from the possible sources of disturbance and other cards, sometimes shielding it better helps (like take 2 cardbord pieces with aluminium foil in the middle, insulate it well (no shortig things please) and ground it to the chassis). Since NT is basically still a single user, 1.5 task desktop thingie, not much is going on and thus will not create disturbances == noise as often (if at all). Well, that's my guess. -Wolfgang -- PGP 2 welcome: Mail me, subject "send PGP-key". If you've nothing at all to hide, you must be boring. Unsolicited Bulk E-Mails: *You* pay for ads you never wanted.
