Hi - I just installed Ubuntu 7.10 on my desktop PC. I notice that when I hit TUNE on fldigi, the tone that comes out of the sound card has a ticking noise. When I run that tone into another PC via audio cables and look at it on an flidigi waterfall, it is not a continuous tone - i.e., the ticking I am hearing is when the audio tone actually stops and then restarts. When I run the Puppy distribution, that ticking is there when I configure the sound card in fldigi to use the top choise for the card (OSS?) on the configuration screen (I don't have screen in front of me - can't remember what is actually was) When I use the bottom choice, the tone is clean and continuous. In Ubuntu - it seems to make no difference - the ticking is always there. It does not matter what the volume one the sound card is set at either.. Any ideas??
