Comment 9 for bug 23731

Daniel,

I can report the same problem as Lloyd and would add only one further
obsevation. I find that when working with my system through the GNOME desktop,
there are brief periods when the white noise may disappear [machine goes silent]
and then returns. This typically corresponds to periods when launching
applications, opening new windows, etc.

I can also report that I see the same problem on both of my machines. One is
based on an Athlon 4200-X2 chip [A-bit AV8 mobo] the other is based on a pair of
Opteron 250s [Tyan Thunder K8W mobo]. In both cases I have the same Audigy sound
card as Lloyd.

Lloyd seems to be much more technically aware than I am, so I do not believe I
am going to be able to add any value to the information he has already gathered,
but if you need someone to perform additional testing on a [slightly] different
platform, then I'm happy to help.

Regards,

Clive
