Right now, both cards are showing up as unconfigured in Yast since I
started using the alsa drivers for both cards. Before I switched the
test option sounded bad, but as I've slept since then, I'll go back and
fiddle around a little to make sure.

Yeah, the speakers (and more importantly I'm sure, the wires) are
getting long in the tooth. But, I just plugged the box into the new
speakers that we bought earlier this year for the other computer and
it's still doing it's breakfast impersonation.

The wiring to the other speakers are running a different direction away
from the box, but they are still near the router and the other computer
currently running, so I might still be picking up interference from
something over there.

Something interesting popped up though. The other speakers have seperate
bass/treble knobs. If i turn the treble all the way down, the noise
disappears. The bass setting has no effect, and turning down the treble
in amarok's equalizer has no effect.

I have, but I've slept since then, and I really doubt I bothered trying
the sound when I did.

Starting to think with the test on the new speakers that this is an
interference problem, but why would dvd audio sound okay, while other
audio sounds horrible?

Thanks,

Derek
