What about music CDs? Do they sound OK?
No, CD's sound just as bad as mp3's. <snip>
No, there's really nothing complicated about the setup, just audio into basic powered altec lansing speakers. That being said, there's alot of electronic crap in this corner, and I know it's likely there's some stray RF floating around. My ham gear is in a box, but I had some trouble with HF while I had it set up. As I said earlier, if it weren't for the fact that DVD audio sounds fine, I'd just chalk it up to interference and forget about it for awhile.
Time to relocate the system box, speakers, kybd/mouse/monitor to another electrical circuit on the other side of the room/house/apartment preferably with a decent power conditioning UPS or power strip.
How about muting everything all at once and then enabling just Master Volume and PCM or something? Bare minimum for noise.
Nod, I did this when i filled the jacks earlier this afternoon. No help. By the time I got got audible sound, the interference had crept back in (it goes up in proportion to the volume, when everything is turned down, I don't hear it.)
Appreciate you sticking through this with me.

Sounded like a quick fix at first :( with kmix settings... Have you disconnected extra CD, floppy, hard drives and unplugged power and data cables? Sheesh. Not much else to tear out or turn off is there? Any external devices plugged in like USB hard drives, USB hubs, wireless NICs, firewire cameras that you haven't removed? Wireless keyboard/mouse setup? -- Stan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
