Love the USB card under windows XP, using foobar playing flac files sounded good and quiet. Now I have switched to Linux, and here the problem persist.

While playing music with several software (amarok, audacious) running in Ubuntu 8.1 and LinuxMint 6 distro it has annoying clicky sound (both mp3, and flac) like playing old LPs.

I have not been able to find the cure.

I plan to resurrect the old Chaintech AV710 and try it in Linux or buy a USB DAC that will work for good optical output to my stereo.

Would appreciate opinions on which USB solutions may work (have to have optical out) in Linux format.

thanks,

I have installed different distro, mainly working with simplyMepis 8. Works fine and sounds superb. Am not sure what I did wrong however.
