Ahh, you beat me to it. I didn't read your response completely. Cool.

Apparently this is mainly a problem with on-board sound? I don't really care since I never use my computer as a source, unless I'm playing music over my desktop speakers. Even so, I was getting a whine from my speakers when using my TV tuner card and muting some of the unused inputs eliminated it.

That makes complete sense, but since when has sense ever driven the PC marketplace?

Tell ya what though. I got my first PC in 1987 (640K RAM, 20 MB HD, monochrome graphics.) I'm no PC guru, but I really thought I had the simple stuff under control. Can't thank you enough for teaching an old dog a new trick!

line in for me gives a bottom hiss to everything.

But I do agree if your on on-board get off it fast. A AV710 soundcard with the Entech 203.2 DAC is the cheapest and probably the best bang for the buck setup. It costs about $70 for the whole setup.
