Not sure if it is in ANY way related to my sound woes... I previously posted about problems with my Creative AudioPCI producing cricket-static noises whenever my system would play a wav file, like during KDE startup and logout. I tried moving my soundcard to a new PCI slot, I tried different speakers, I even tried a Soundblaster PCI 128. Nothing eliminated the cricket-like static noises. It turned out to not be exclusive to linux, however. I had installed Windoze Millenium and found that when it played the opening or closing wav sounds, it too would cricket screech. When I played games under linux or doze, I would also get some of the static over the game sounds. Then an odd thing. Under linux, after reinstalling my original AudioPCI and plugging in my original speakers, the wav file during kde startup was still screwy but when I placed a music CD in my cdrom and played it, NO STATIC or sounds other than crystal-clear music(!?!). I ended up dumping Windoze ME (buggy and UNSTABLE AS SH*T!) and reinstalled windoze 98. It can play its wav files without the static noise and games play without any of the static overlay. This boggles me. If the problem were linux/mandrake, then I would not have expected the same problem under doze ME. If it were RF inteference, then it SHOULD occur under doze and linux - it does this but ONLY if the windoze I am running is ME. Win98 doesn't do it (thus far). If it were the soundcard or speakers, then I would expect the problem to resolve with either the installation of a DIFFERENT soundcard or upon connecting new speakers. Neither occured. I did not have any problems under Mandrake 7.1. I do not recall if this all started after upgrading to 7.2 OR after my upgrade from a Celeron system to an Athlon system. I don't THINK it coincides with the upgrade in cpu/architecture - I KNOW I had no problems under Windoze 98, neither playing games or just navigating around with the annoying windoze wav files dinging and beeping. Can anyone put together a coherent, logical story to make sense of this? Mandrake 7.2 (and Windoze ME) both produced horrendous cricket-chirping static through my AudioPCI card regardless of PCI slot placement. The problem did not exist under Mandrake 7.1 and didn't (and still doesn't) under Windoze 98. The static doesn't occur when playing music cds in the cdrom under Mandrake 7.2. It appears to be restricted to midi/wav files. praedor
