Which asus motherboard are you using ?

Do your computer chassis have a HD compliant front audio panel ?

I cannot find any situation which "Noise" appear in Front Panel HP
only  and does not on rear panel jacks for my ad1988a


I guess you have to check the front panel connector and Front Audio Panel


There are "click" when I change "Beep Playback Volume" and "pop" when
unmute "Beep Playback Switch" in alsamixer on both HP jack and rear
panel jacks of my ad1988

aplay -D pulse --period-time=500 48000Hz.wav

Playing one instance of aplay at minimum period time just cause CPU go
up to 20% and the sound is still good

However sound is distorted after you play another instance of aplay at
the same time

aplay -D pulse --period-time=500 44100Hz.wav
