I've recently upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 on my Dell Inspiron 8500 notebook.
8.04 was working really well - 8.10 seems to need a bit of a polish to get to the same stage (for my situation anyway).
I'm aiming to clean out my problems one at a time - first one being the sound system is recognised and set up ok - can play audio no problem. But I get a low level periodic "chirp" every 10 seconds or so. The period is not constant, and depends greatly on what the system is doing. Moving the touchpad or typing seems to make it happen a lot quicker than an idle system.
From a little bit of googling the onboard sound for my notebook is a Sigmatel 9750 chipset.
The volume of the chirping seems to depend on the "front" level in KMix. The PCM level doesn't seem to change it at all.
Any ideas on where I start tracking this one down?
