I have a HitPoint HCMI-5.1CH-OF which uses the cmpci chipset. I am not
an audiophile type (64kbps vorbis sounds good to me) but the sound
quality is particularly bad in that there is a lot of hissing in the
background even though I'm listening at a nominal volume. I would be
inclined to think it was a hardware problem if it weren't for the fact
that the sound quality is fine under Linux. Does anybody have any idea
what the problem could be? Are there any settings that might make a
difference (I've tried muting all the other channels)?
Thank.
