Yes, crackling especially when I play a network game. I did not initially suspect the network card, I suspected the video card. But I noticed that the soundcard was IRQ sharing with eth0. That's what convinced me. The chipset is an SiS651, which is supposed to be based on the SiS648, but has a lot of integrated peripherals. > > Try inserting the card into a different PCI slot.

And I have been unable to tell the BIOS to give this card a seperate IRQ. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
