Same thing ... after swapping the 1010 with the 2496 from my 64-bit to
my 32-bit (same distributions, different motherboards), I get hiss with
the 2496 in the 64-bit and no hiss with the 1010 in the 32-bit -- which
is a real bummer. I'm pretty crushed with the outcome seeing my 64-bit
is a pro-grade server build with the sole purpose of making music.
(NOTE: both run perfectly, even side-by-side in my windows xp machine).
