After many changes and turning off un-needed functions that always start when WIN 7 boots up and caused the latency to increase, I finally found the root cause.
When I upgraded to WIN 7, the install process replaced the drivers for the built in Firewire adapter in my Toshiba laptop. By re-installing the OEM legacy drivers the audio scratchy noise stopped. The noise on SSB was not that bother some, it disrupted my digital modes and caused loss of connections while using ALE400 or 141a ALE in MultiPSK. This may be some help to others with scratchy audio. Ted, WB2LOU -- Ted, WB2LOU You cannot change history, but you can make history ! The legal cure for Ignorance is Education.
