Hi I am setting up a hi-def audio system. Audio streams are being played on an Ubuntu fanless server with SPDIF optical out (VIA EPIA EX10000 motherboard) into a DAC. All works well except the one of the really important bits, namely high definition (24 bit, 48 & 96kHz) audio is being reproduced accompanied (overwhelmed) by a loud white noise stream on the right channel. This white noise sounds vaguely like it might once have been music e.g. it varies in pitch and intensity and exhibits something akin to rhythm. The left channel produces clear, albeit quiet, audio. Forcing the player to 16 bit output eliminates the issue but has a resultant loss in quality. I've updated ALSA to the latest I could find (1.0.23) using ppa:ricotz with no audible change. All suggestions welcome...
