Greetings all,

I've encountered a strange issue on my machine, for some reason playing a mp3, flac or youtube renders static sound out of the speakers.
I get the same when trying an usb card.
the issue reproduces on latest gentoo sources, gs-4.7.0 and gs-4.6.0
I've also tried to downgrade media-sound/alsa-utils and media-libs/alsa-lib but the issue still persists.
here are some outputs:

any hints that can help me figure out what is the matter?

According to emerge -info you have in /etc/portage/make.conf
Code:
ALSA_CARDS="hda-intel usb-audio"

This variable is not configure by me and emerge -info give me this
Code:
 ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci"

So, try to comment the ALSA_CARDS and do an
Code:
emerge -aDNuv @world

to see if emerge will change something. You may need the alsa-firmware package to be emerge.

You can mute all non needed channels for the sound output to see if the noise dissapear.

Something hardware related, ground loop or whatnot. You could try with a liveCD just to make sure this is not Gentoo related.

thanks for the tips, will try commenting ALSA_CARDS out, if it doesn't work, will try alsa-firmware (I highly doubt this is the issue but still).

good idea, will try that too.

I highly doubt this is a hw issue as it happens on two distinct devices which are connected via different interface (pci and usb).
I'll try the livecd issue although I'm pretty sure this is a Gentoo issue.

muting the front bar makes the noise disappear.

crap, I did it again, it all started when I got static noise on a youtube video.
then it continued when I used aplay to test the speakers.
alas, aplay doesn't support mp3 nor flac.

now everything works great, sorry for wasting you time...

I guess it means there is something wrong with analog part of the sound. Has nuttin' to do with digital processing on the mobo nor the software.

nicer way to say that the user is a dumbass yet again (not the first time I did the exact same thing).

nope, I was trying to play a compressed file with aplay and it seems to unable to decode it or play it, resulting with a static noise

you are wrong, that is the biggest virus there it, as it wasn't able to cause any damage it wasn't a virus. I think one can refer to it as a misconfigured daemon.
