Correct. Some soundcards pick noise from some of their inputs.

Simply because the mixer volume settings are different in Win95 and Linux.
The solution is very simple. Use a mixer program and decrease volumes of
the _INPUTS_ one at time. At the moment the noise disappears you know the
source. After that you can set this input to 0 after boot.
Don't try to cure this problem by decreasing main volume since it
decreases volume of the "payload" too.
