A7N8X-E Deluxe Sound problem - 'bus noise'
Have just noticed that my new ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe m/board (with
built-in nVideo nForce sound circuitry) puts out a bit of 'bus noise'. I've only just noticed it today when using headphones for the first time on this setup. The Line Out of the sound circuit is connected to the Aux input on my Hi-Fi's amp. I *used* to have this problem on my old AWE32 ISA-based sound card (on an ABit BH6 m/board), but muting the Line In fixed that. However, muting/adjusting the volume settings for the various I/O on this new board makes no difference to the 'bus noise'. I'm sure it's not my Hi-Fi at fault, or cabling, or headphones etc because, as noted, I eliminated the problem on my previous setup. Any thoughts please anyone on a solution? Ta, Phil |

Ta, Phil Try placing one of those snap on magnetic things (sorry forgot the name, rounded magnet in plastic) it shall reduce the noise problem. I had to do that here on the cable that connects to the motherboard from my case connections. Minotaur |

if you look here
http://www.nforcershq.com/forum/ you can find older driver versions Is this a new thing?? or did the older sound drivers do the same thing. If the one of the old drivers worked fine ...reinstall just the old sound driver peter "phil" wrote in message ...
