The only way I get rid of those noises is to run as root or sudo and with the -rt flag. Try it if you haven't done that yet. ALSA support for PD is not good, so I don't think removing the PCI card from your ALSA configuration will help at all. The "default" sound systems have been OSS or JACK for a long time now, so better to skip tinkering with ALSA too much for now if it's usable by JACK.

greetings list, When I run PD under linux using an edirol UA25 and Jack, I get some pretty nasty noises every time i switch windows. When I do the same thing in Windows (sans jack), I don't get this problem. I've tried running pd with alsa but that doesn't work. I do have a 16 bit pci soundcard installed. Would removing that help? Or how would I edit my alsa configuration to remove the PCI card and just use USB? the alsa configurator program doesn't make any mention of the USB device.
