1 When I first installed and configured all ALSA-related things, the
2 sound was working perfectly fine, and I was quite pleased. Now, about
3 a week later, I've started picking up this rather annoying scratchy
4 static noise while using Audacious.

6 Some stats: Intel D955XBK motherboard with an on-board Intel
7 High-Definition Audio (hda-intel). ALSA says that it's the SigmaTel
8 STAC9221D A2 chip. And lspci says:00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel
9 Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev
10 01).

12 I have the 2.6.20-gentoo-r8 PREEMPT kernel, compiled with SMP/ACPI.
13 In my case, I actually compiled all ALSA-related stuff, including the
14 hda-intel driver right into the kernel. Yes, I know, I should
15 recompile and make all those as modules... Can I pass any options to
16 the hda-intel driver when it's compiled into the kernel, or can that
17 only be done with modules?
18
19 I'm not sure where to look to fix this problem... I read something on
20 Gentoo boards about getting rid of PREEMPT features, MSI, etc... but
21 nothing seemed conclusive or evidently relevant to this problem.
22 Could someone tell me where to start?
