Hi Jeff,
Here's what I would try first:
apt-get install alsa-utils
alsamixer
Cycle through each slider, and mute unnecessary sound channels (hit
the 'M' key). It could be that some sound channel you don't need
enabled is picking up system noise. If that doesn't help, is there any
difference with the clicking
if you use headphones?
Cheers,
