Hi, Tobin: Thanks for the advice, but it did not have much of an effect. By playing with some controls, I was able to minimize the effect and now it only appears if the output volume is high. I have also noticed that the level depends on the impedance of the output device: low with loudspeakers and high with headphones. Is it possible that there is some hardware coupling?
