[PD] noise?

[Søren Bovbjerg]

I have had similar experience with a certain setup. It had on-board sound
and speakers build into the monitor. As soon as PD started it generated som
kind of weak buzzing sound (like static) which changed if i held down a
mouse button. I believe that the culprit was either the drivers or the
soundcard. On that computer I could also hear modem traffic, btw (very faint
though). I have only experienced it on this single machine.

I don't thing PD is actually _generating_ the buzzing sound.

> Let me explain:  I'm currently using the onboard soundcard (ASUS
motherboard with a c-media audiocard).  I don't experience any unwanted
noise when I use Cool Edit Pro, Windows Media Player, etc.  for wave
playback.  But the instant that I open PD...i get noise!  (a buzz and a hum
somewhere around 800 hz).  I close PD, the noise goes away.  I open PD, the
noise comes back.
