Frank, Good point. Thank you. Changing the sample-rate may do it. I fear it's still gonna sound crappy even compared to my on-board nvidia sound. I'll try it though. So, if i were to get a higher-end sound card like an RME that might be shielded enough to avoid the fan hums? I'm gonna get things as quiet inside my case as possible, but i'll need *some* fans even if they are large and slow. Bearcat M. Sandor > Hallo, > Bearcat M. Sandor hat gesagt: // Bearcat M.
