[ltp] nasty sound feedback using usb-audio and mdk 9.0 on tp600E

[iriXx]

hi,

i've just reinstalled mandrake 9.0 and successfully got usb-audio 
running on my thinkpad 600E,
but the sound quality is heavily distorted. it can't be a usb mouse
conflict, as was suggested on another list, as i am not running any 
other usb
devices concurrently with my usb m-audio quattro - i only have one usb 
port. but i wonder if there is some kind of conflict going on nonetheless.

does anyone have any idea what may be causing this? it seems very
strange as everything worked fine with tarball alsa 0.9.rc5 and mandrake
8.2 - i'm now using the supplied rpm versions of alsa with mandrake 9.0
- i prefer to use the alsa-project.org tarballs, but in this case i have
decided to stick with the supplied rpms to avoid conflicts between the 
two as happened
to me earlier.

thanks in advance

m~
