[PD] [OT] mini-ITX again (Derek Holzer)

[nils]

Not sure if the they have a digital out for the audio, but I've often 
used an optical digital out and an external D/A, which gets ride of the 
noise completely.  I have this problem on my little shuttle box with the 
builtin audio.  I get all sorts of noise unless you use the digital out, 
I've only tried this with an optical out since then you're guaranteed 
electrical isolation.

Whether  this is an option for you or not.
