I have fetchmail running to collect mail, at least to the spool but it runs in daemon mode, so I don't need to be logged in for this occur. Might not be what you want but I don't see a connection between the sound problems and being logged in short of regular noise being pumped through the system due to a desktop being up.

I have always though it was some type of issue with the fairly new sound hardware on my motherboard. Figured that better drivers would come out in the next version or so. > > Can anyone suggest a likely cause? Perhaps heat from the active system? Is the case cooled well?
