Is there any possibility that crashing-crunching audio noise that now
obscures all audio output could be anything but a hardware problem? The
desired sound can still be heard at the expected volume, but the noise is
equally loud (like an old AM radio near a thunderstorm). My sound needs are
minimal (play an audio CD occasionally, play a video or flash clip, rarely
play a movie from DVD). So I don't have a sound-card... just the generic
on-motherboard AC97. I hadn't even had the speakers switched on for several
weeks before I upgraded from SuSE 9.2 to 9.3 (install, not update), so I
don't know for certain that it's not software. (Unlikely, I know, but...)
It's not the speakers ( tried headphones).
I checked all cable connections for snug fit... well, really there's just
the one internal cable from the CD drive to MB. Nothing is unduly hot and
nothing smells bad in the vicinity of the motherboard. The noise is
intermittent and rises and falls with volume-slider settings.
Looks like I need to spend a few bucks on a soundcard? Any other diagnosing
I should do first? All software is straight off the DVD and kept up with
YOU... but a software glitch couldn't make noise that way, could it?
