Please help

Hi, I am having sound trouble that I cant seem to solve. I get hissing when
recording voice, and I get popping and crackling at the begining of wave
files. If the wave file is big enough to last a few seconds the popping and
crackling goes away, but it comes right back if you dont play any sound for
a few minutes. This is only at the begining of the file, once it is
playingfor a few seconds its fine, or I can play a short file over and over
till the noise stops. I have an AWE 64 gold card, DPT Smartcache 4 SCSI
adapter, #nine Imagine 128 series 2 video card, Western digital SCSI wide
hard drive, plextor cd rom, Jaz drive, and a LS120 A drive. No ide bus is
running in the bios because everything is SCSI, the only thing in an ISA
slot besides the sound card is the Floppy Max controller for the LS 120. I
have all the latest drivers for everything in the system that requires them,
unless supported by Win95, like the cdrom and LS120, etc. so it's not a
matter of getting the latest drivers. I have also tried the sound card in
another bare bones setup of win3.1 and it does the same thing, and yes I
have tried another sound card and it does the same thing. I am trying to
come up with some common denominator in all this but cant seem to fine one.
2 different systems, 2 different operating systems, 2 different cards, 3
different mics, and still the hissing, crackling and popping. HELP please
any ideas appreciated!!!!!!! Tommie.

Hi tommie. I'm not quite an expert in this field but have read somethings about
this in comp newsgroups.

You say you use SCSI. Have you terminated the buss at each end. I have heard
something about static (clicks etc.) coming through if you don't terminate the
SCSI bus at each end.

Hope this helps.
