Low-level noise problem.

Low-level noise problem.

[Dave Mielke]

Hi:

If this is the wrong list for the following question, would someone please let
me know the correct forum in which to ask it.

I am using the 2.0.36 kernel with a SoundBlaster AWE64 card. When the sound
level is very low I can hear quite a noticeable flickering. It is as though
some channel within the card is quickly toggling on and off as the
instantaneous signal level hovers just above and just below some threshold.
This does not happen on Win95, so I'm wondering if it has something to do with
the card's default configuration and/or Linux's method of initializing it. Does
anyone know what might be behind this problem, and what I might do to solve it?

Thanks.
