So I'm picking up a fair amount of environmental noise with my semi-cheapo ES1371 sound card (things like high-frequency noise when an xterm scrolls; a different, continuous background HF noise; some 60 Hz buzz, etc). Some of it, like the 60 Hz buzz, is almost certainly due to the cable run between the machine and the mixer. However, I strongly suspect that the HF problems are due to radiated energy within the machine's case. The ES1371 has pretty much no shielding, after all. My question is, what's the most noise-free (both internal, and from induction) card that's supported by FreeBSD? Second, what's the best supported card in terms of sound quality (assuming no induced noise, etc)? Hopefully both of these are the same card, but if not, could I get pointers to information on each, or reviews, or something? Thanks much.
