    can it be solved? BIOS flash? driver?

    but from some site..they say it is the ALC658 codec chipset that caused this hissing noise.. :sick:

    Hmm.. Try changing the IDE cables? :think:

    Maybe enable Spread Spectrum and see if that helps?

    Change from the 40-conductors to 80-conductors cable.

    Can try spread spectrum too. For different reasons, of course. :mrgreen:

    I have a Gigabyte mainbord with the same chip and same problem-silence the cd-player in the windows sound configurator that will make the noise baerly audible.For even better results unplug the cable that connects the cd rom with the soundcard/mainbord.
    For best results get a soundcard;)

    Hope this helps you-it helped me.

    Wait.. Is that hissing noise only present in CD music? :think:

    Or any audio output from the onboard sound chip? Or is it present even when there's nothing running? :think:

    DYKT: I'm running both onboard sound and EMU 0404 at the same time? EMU 0404 for music listening, and onboard sound for others? :thumb:

    the sound can he heard when u turn ur speaker volume loud..the sound is there as long as the computer is switch on..but it is more obvious duing hardisk or cd rom activity..sometimes even when u move the mouse..

    the tiny cable from cd rom is not plug in into the mobo..at first is suspect is some AC leakage from the damn i-cute psu that come with the casing..but the sound still there after i swap another PSU :nuts:
