The noise was spikes of varying amplitude at a fixed rate (125ms if I remember well). Replacing the USB cable by a shorter one significantly reduced the problem, and it also depended on the USB ports used for mouse and sound card. On some mainboards/laptops the noise was less then on others. See http://vegri.net/output_zero.png and http://vegri.net/output_inactive.png for output spectrum of the sound card (custom made, not UA25) when playing zeros and when not in use. - Giso > > Running 'cat /proc/interrupts' reports that usb1/usb3 share interrupt 17 > and usb2/usb4 share interrupt 16.
