The biggest change, though, was when I changed out the conventional 10 GB hard drive for a slightly larger flash drive that was also about 15 years newer.
I think it is some sort of bus contention problem. The system has two IDE controllers. One has the boot drive on the master position plus a second conventional hard drive on the slave position for /home. The other IDE controller has a CDRW drive in the master position and a second CDRW drive in slave. I can always make the sound problem worse by doing disk-intensive activity on the controller that has the two fixed disk drives. The system kernel changed in May and there was no noticeable change then that could be tied to the new kernal. Thanks for the good question. It made me think differently. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
