I just had a similar thing happen to me, with a Delta 66 (also an ice1712), after playing with the command-line alsamixer. I'm driving a pair of powered monitors from H/W Out[1,2]. Running envy24control, I found that I had set Master Clock to 88200, where I normally keep it at 48000. In fact, switching between 88200 <-> 48000 in envy24control produces the pop every time. The pop is much louder in the right (Out2) channel than the left, for some reason I can't explain. Anyway, if I set it at 48000, I don't get pops when I play audio through it ("mplayer -ao alsa1x:ice" [1]), so it seems to be related to changing the sample rate, as other people suggested. -Jamie [1] pcm.ice { type plug slave { pcm { type hw card 1 } } }
