Mike: Try moving the audio card into a different slot if it is PCI. It sounds to me like you just MIGHT have interrupt sharing problems. Everyone just expects all of that to work like magic. Even I get caught occasionally by having these assumptions.
Can you go back to an older version of the software and have this stop? Can you turn the display off and have this stop? This is not quite as maddening to the software developers as it would be to you the frustrated user but it is maddening nevertheless. I submitted changes to 1.9.0 beta last evening that are somewhat significant in that a major foundational library has undergone major changes. I was watching as my nearly two year old Pentium 4 HT machine was running about 5% CPU doing 11 fps update of the panadapter without a single pop. It is a maddening thing for us to not be able to recreate these issues because then we could more easily find them.
