What "noise"? Sine wave? Buzz? Static? To solve engineering problem, you need to
be clear and specific, otherwise no one can read your mind and give you help.

Ok, but did you carefully check the connectors? The typical PC sound output is a
*stereo* connector, but the DSK connectors are per channel (mono). You see four
audio connectors on the DSK, right? Compare that to the PC and think about it.

I think you're being careless and simply have a wiring problem. You need to debug
this very carefully -- use your ohm meter, scope, read the schematic, and do some
"hands-on, in the lab" engineering. Class and online tech groups can't teach you
everything.
