hi again
alittle more info. seems that the buzzing tone goes away after a few minutes, followed by what sounds like clearly audible interference from the hard drive spinning. happens with the windows drivers as well.. i use quite a few audio apps and have never heard this sort of strange interference from the hard drive. also, podium crashes when i change the input sound driver before the output driver. i don’t think anyone else is having these problems and otherwise my hardware and software are in good shape, so i guess i’m kind of stuck…
