I bought it off ebay in December with no OS, and have had two problems develop after getting it running stable with 98SE - both of these were not occurring at one point. First, the Audio Hiss - I checked the microphone volume, and it is muted. If I mute the speaker, the hiss goes away. I think I have managed to get this to stop in another fashion at one point, but it always comes back when I reboot. The hiss is proportional to the main volume control. Any thoughts? I would just assume it's the fault of a bad sound chip, but I really think I have seen it stop, before. Second, my PCMCIA NIC (10 BaseT XJack) now locks up the Libretto whenever I insert it. If I have the card inserted, and boot the machine, it locks up at the Windows splash screen. If I insert the card after the machine finishes booting, it locks up shortly after making the "PCMCIA card identified" noise. This card definitely worked in the past. My PCMCIA modem works fine in the Libretto, and the NIC works fine in my other laptop. I could afford to replace this NIC, but I eventually want to use a 802.11 NIC in the Libretto, as soon as I can afford it - and then I would have a spare NIC. Any thoughts on what might be going on, here?
