I had the same problem on my motherboard. It was caused by the inputs such
as microphone being enabled. I used alsamixer to turn them off and now the
hissing has gone.

You can also use alsamixer to set the volume levels so that you get a
reasonable output volume.

BTW, you use 'm' to mute a channel, using alsamixer.
