- I used to have the same problem but for me, it occurred when I
- exited win 3.1. I had chosen the wrong driver in control panel
- drivers. I think I might have been using the adlib or some
- other one. When I used an updated sb driver, the noise went
- away. Now if I could just solve my midi problem...
