Bad idea for security reasons. Simply add yourself to the "audio" group via
"adduser <user> <group>". Then logout and back in and you have access to that
device.

I had something similar happen that might be the cause. Check for other wires or

player to the soundcard was touching some part of the hard drive. As soon as I
moved it, there were no more unwanted sounds!
