Install/run both kmix and alsamixergui. kmix will be your long term system tray applet for volume control. So start with kmix and then alsamixergui. When you use the es1370 do you disable the via8233 in the BIOS?
Start with kmix and adjust each and every possible setting while
anything, starting at each option's current level and raising/lowering back to its original point. Also try enabling/disabling the 'mute' switch for each and every possible input/output. I think you may find one of these
this was the state I started in when I upgraded to 10.2, with the onboard sound disabled in bios, using the es1370. listening to produces
more noise than any other and that'll be the one that you adjust to stop the bacon.
So far, the only settings I've found that signifigantly affect it are the PCM/volume settings...the problem being that in order to filter it down to a minimum, the sound is minimal too. Not terribly useful. ;)
If this doesn't work and this is the same motherboard (9 years old?) you may have too much electrical noise in the system. If you are serious about fixing this, then remove all non-essential boards from the PCI or ISA slots and try again. Try the es1370 in different slots.
No, this motherboard is...3 years old I'd guess. What I meant was that I've been using linux for about 9 years now, and I've never had 'good' sound. I think 6.4 came closest (but 6.4 was near perfect,) but even that was just on the acceptable side of crap. The only boards I've got in this machine atm are the vid card, the network card, and the sound card. Pretty much a minimal setup.
