Hmpf. It's the only thing I can think of that would be a cause of the NEW problem...which only actually appeared at some point after an upgrade to 7.2 but it CAN'T be Mandrake 7.2, because... I have an AudioPCI es1371 card and a PCI 3com 3C900B card presently sharing an irq. The soundcard has worked fine in the past, no cricket noises, no problems. I have now found that the same problem occurs under windoze, which made me think the card went bad. I picked up a new card, a soundblaster PCI 128 (drats!!) which isn't well supported under linux, it turns out. Windoze had the same problem with it as with the AudioPCI card it replaced...chirping noises covering most system sounds. I couldn't get it working under linux but since the same problem occurred, AND in a different PCI slot, I guess it isn't the card. I have also tried two separate sets of speakers but that doesn't change anything. I have an AOpen AK72 mobo with athlon 700. The onboard sound is disabled (I would use it if it were possible under linux). This problem with chirping static noises happening when sounds are played is rather new, and doesn't coincide with my original upgrade to this motherboard and cpu. It can't be a linux problem either since it also occurs in windoze. I am stumped. Anyone have any ideas? I've tried different PCI slots, different audio cards, different speakers. I've also tried different kernel builds. Anyone?
