Hi,
Recently I bought an ASUS Z68 mobo with a built in sound card(Realtek ALC887-VD), the problem is that I get high noise in mic when recording unless I set the Noise Suppression option, the problem is that this option is non-existent in Linux so when recording in Linux I would always get high noise.
To give you an idea of the noise I get, here's the waveform with NS off then on.
And here is the dialog that shows the NS option
Is this normal for mainstream cards or is this a problem with this particular card? Can you recommend a mainstream (built-in) sound card that works well without needing a fancy driver that does half the work for it ? for example does the ALC 889 has this problem?
