Anytime I watch TV (or any recordings) there is a ringing noise in the background.  At first I thought it was some kind interference, but both kdetv and TVtime sound just fine.  I tried fiddling with the mixer according to the howto instructions to no avail.  I also listened to the /dev/dsp output using aplay according to the howto and it sounded fine too.  This seems significant as it tells me that the sound stream is getting digitized without any problems (or am I way off track?).  Any help would be much appreciated!

I'm not at all sure it's the same kind of issue, but I had a problem 
with ringing audio on my asus nforce motherboard, which turned out to be 
a problem with the sound driver; passing some module parameters on 
startup fixed it for me. In my case, it was caused by the snd-hda-intel 
HD audio codec driver -- more info about that particular problem here:

If you have an audio codec which uses the intel hd audio spec, this 
could be the issue, and you might want to try playing with the 'model' 
module parameter.
