I was having a sound problem too. I don't know what you mean by noise, 
but I was getting a static hiss out of the left speaker that wouldn't go 
away unless I turned my speakers off. I did a google search and found 
the answer. If your running Gnome, click on the volume icon in your 
system panel and go to properties. Turn the volume all the way down on 
the digital-1 channel. In KDE, run kmix and turn off IEC958 in the 
advanced menu.
