Is the noise present all the time, or only when a CD is being played?
My cheapo soundcard is rather "hissy" as well, unless I lower the master
volume and kick up the CD volume (using Xmix).
You may want to try this and see what sort of results you get. May be
that one of the other audio inputs (microphone, line in) is set too
high and is what's generating the noise.
