All the other stuff you mentioned is as it should be. Microphone boost is de-selected, alternate microphone is selected. no other options. the noise continues dispite rather or not these are ticked. Boost, just adds more noise and amplifies.

It's probably onboard sound, under properties on the volume control panel what does it say for mixer device?

Have you got an ATI video card?

Yes, a 2600, or a 2800 something. I forget. Whichever one was the 'recommended' one for Halflife 2.

The C-Media chip apparently has no input filters to remove out of band noise, so they'll pick up a lot of input noise from the system bus and other devices. Apparently ATI graphics cards are particularly 'noisy' (though I've only found this mentioned specifically with ATI-all in wonder cards which includes audio encoding for TV and AV-device input it is mentioned that the ATI chipset itself is somewhat 'noisy'). Another possibillity would be an improperly grounded audio channel, though that would mean a fault in the circuit itself, and I think the unshielded C-Media chip picking up system noise is most likely. About the only way I can think of fixing it would be to replace the sound card, I would think replacing it with a cheap soundblaster or similar would probably get rid of the problem.

Ah, much thanks. at least I understand it now. I'll do the muted until I need it thing until I can find a cheap sound card. Not exactly rolling in the dough here.

one day i'm going to make up the hugest batch of dough (probably chocolate chip cookie dough, nummy) and then roll around in it - just to see what it feels like.

Its more realistic than the idea of me ever having a large disposable income.

Plus - cookie dough tastes much better than bank notes.

That sounds like yet another thing that would be more fun with someone else, you know, to help eat it after. I'll have to try that.....

I'm still inclined to attempt a rollabout in a chocolate jello bath at the Hyatt. Given the right partners, appropriately "juiced", it could be... amusing.

Any takers?
