        Well, indirectly. As I mentioned, the system has always
exhibited this behavior slightly for several years through a
number of kernels. 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.
