Over the weekend I upgraded hardware and software at the same time. I went from 4.1-stable to 4.3-BETA #2, and upgraded to a 1100 MHz T-bird mobo. Same genuine SB16 sound card. Before the upgrade, mpg123 running under gqmpeg gave the clean, clear sound. Now it's laced with static. The card and wires seem OK - xcdplayer plays CD's static free, it's only mp3 files with a problem. Ideas? Known t-bird problem?
