[SOLVED] hissing sound when running mandriva

[svzard]

Hi all,
I've installed Mandriva 2008.1 in my Dell Vostro 1400 laptop along with Vista. My experience with Mandriva has generally been good so for except the below query.

I hear strange noise (hissing noise) when running Mandriva, which I have never heard before while running either Windows or other distros. Its something like a gas leak. I have observed that it starts with the starting of 'udev'. What it could be. The hardware is standard Vostro-1400 hardware-I don't know the details. Has anybody experienced the same.

I'm suspicious of this noise as I think its not normal. The performance of the system has not been affected till now though. Kindly help.

Hello - this thread should help. It probably just means one of your audio channels is turned up too high.
