there's a high-pitched whine, that seems to track my mouse movements.
USB mouse?
Yes. But the noise is there even if I unplug the mouse. Then I notice it
when I press keys on my PS/2 keyboard.
Once the audio stops playing (and in some cases the parent app/window
closed), the audio shuts off with an audible "blip", and the whine
goes away.
That's weird. I use 2.6.25 (self-compiled from linux-source-2.6.25)
with no problems.
This is true in both KDE and ICEWM. I'm unsure how to go about
diagnosing/fixing this problem other than dropping back to my
previous kernel.
What happens when you play an audio file from the console? This is
always a helpful baseline:
$ speaker-test -t sine
Killing X and using music123 to play an .ogg file (Glenn Miller had some
fine tunes!), I get the same type of noise.
(I'm having trouble finding speaker-test to use your specific test.)
