I had some arguements with Creative about noise, but it lead to
nowhere. Every attempt to find the problem lead to 'use new drivers'. But
what I found out, this noise is related to 'line out', but not to 'rear
out', so I use SBLive! in 4 speaker mode with two speakers at 'rear out'.
'line out' is with amplifier, but 'rear out' is not. I suspect the
amplifier of 'line out' is what is causing this noise.

Ivo.
