Well, I was able to ameliorate the problem with qamix or one of those kde panels by adjusting the CD and PCM (what is that?) levels very high and everything else down.
Basically those two inputs will overpower whatever the source of the noise is.
I figure that when I started KDE as root and then did init 3 from a shell, I didn't give KDE a chance to restore some settings and that caused the problem.
Is there any way to reset my sound card to factory defaults?
Using gamix I turned off the Capture and Mic inputs and then using YaST I saved the sound card settings. That helps the "fix" survive reboots. However, I still have background noise when playing MP3 or Ogg files until the sound gets to a level to overpower the noise. Playing CDs with gnome-cd doesn't seem to have the problem, though. I cannot think of what else might've happened with the init 3 that broke my sound... -- -M There are 10 kinds of people in this world: Those who can count in binary and those who cannot.
