Video567, sound hissing is most likely produced by low-quality cables/plug converters between your box and the PC. I would suggest you get better cables and eliminate all converters if possible, for example if you have a MiniJack to RCA converter get rid of it and get a miniJack to RCA cable.
To save your existing captures I recommend Cool Edit Pro. It can just deal with wav files (which can or cannot be a problem) but it does a GREAT job in removing hiss from recordings. I use it to remove hiss from age-old tape recordings and after a bit of experimenting with the options I got really good results.
