Hi.
I have a Dell pc with on-board sound card in the form of Crystal CS4236 chips. I get a 
clicking noise at the beginning of sounds. Not allways - only if there is a period of silence 
first. For instance, if I am playing an MP3 and I do something in X that generates a sound 
event, the sound is hear fine with no clicking. But if there is no sound playing and a new 
sound is played, you get a click whose volume is proportionsal to the amount of time it's 
been silent for - ie longer silence gives a louder click.

If it was an analogue device, I would suspect a faulty decoupling capacitor, causing DC to 
build up on the output. But it's digital and only happens in Linux (not Windoze). This implies 
it is a driver thing.

Does anyone know a fix for this?
