Hi, I get (and have had for as long as I can remember) a hissing background sound in FreeBSD. This occurs in two different computers with two different sound cards: pcm0: <AudioPCI ES1370> port 0xdc00-0xdc3f irq 10 at device 15.0 on pci0 pcm0: <Creative CT5880-C> port 0x9800-0x983f irq 9 at device 13.0 on pci0 This sound is noticeable, but not dominant at low volumes. At high volumes (and no sound going out) the hissing is very noticeable. This hissing starts exactly when the sound card is initialized in the bootup sequence, which leads me to believe there is a way to fix it. Any hints? I will do my best to assist in tracing this! I'm using "device pcm0" in the kernel config for my FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE system. (Though this hissing has existed for as long as I can remember, probably even since 3.x?) It's an annoying problem which spoils the enjoyment of listening to audio on my FreeBSD systems :(.
