I have the M-Audio Revolution 5.1 sound card. When the graphics card is under pretty heavy load, there's a lot of noise. For example when playing Blood Money, the noise isn't loud, but it's definitely there. Or in Linux (I have beryl), when I move a window or rotate the cube, there's a LOT of noise and it's annoying as hell. How can I fix this?

There's also some kind of sound when there's a disk in the optical drive. The only way I can describe it is it sounds like something's spinning... Except the sound is coming from the speakers?

Try removing the card, cleaning it with a can of air blower and the pci slots. Put it in the slot farthest away from the graphics card. If that doesn't work try reinstalling the drivers.
