That word describes my computer perfectly.  I am using the souncard only 
because my serial ports won't work, even those on an add-on card after I 
disabled the original ones (but the sign-on screen lists them.)

Nothing is seen at all.  I have downloaded your PDF file.

No.  It was originally unchecked.

I have the original card integral to the motherboard (disabled by Windows), 
and a Creative Vibra 128.  The menu under Volume Control doesn't list them as 
such, but "SB Audio PCI Mixer", "SB16 Mixer (220)" and "Sound System Mixer 
(5334)."  AGWPE lists them the same way without "mixer".

No, but I see very slight random noise on the axis (more like slight 
displacements of sections of the baseline).  This is unaffected by any signal 
or receiver noise.
