I recently put a new computer together with an on board sound card (Realtek AC97 Audio). Since day one I've been getting a fair amount of hissing/crackling on the line out. It's not too bad on speakers but pretty annoying on headphones. To give you an idea its sounds like an electrical whirring sound (the HDs?) coming through to the speakers / headphones when there's no music playing or playing at a low volume.
Any advice would be appreciated.

What is connected to your computer? It sounds to me that you have a ground loop problem that is probably related to video capture. Do you have a cable or antenna connected to your PC. If you do, you will need to get some kind of isolation.

It may be noise from the cpu fan. Try a different one. I had that problem before.

It may be a faulty chip. Is it on all inputs? Does it depends on the volume? On which input?

That's actually how I noticed it, by putting on the headphones for the first time.
