I don't know whether or not this is the same issue I see with my audio card. I had loud hissing, starting with FC2. In the audio mixer, there are two inputs called IEC958 or something like that. Turning off the second one stopped the hissing. If you cannot control the volume with the Gnome mixer, try using KDE and see if KMix works any better. You may (or may not) be willing to switch to KDE, but it's worth trying as a troubleshooting step. Hope this helps, Ken
