I suspected RFI too.  I moved the cards as far away as possible.  There's no 
audio jumper, and I even tried unplugging the monitor cable.  I also removed 
the cable splitter in case it was poorly shielded.  Nothing seemed to help. 

I suspect a noisy video card more than an overly sensitive HD-3000, since 
swapping out the nVidia for the Radeon made the problem disappear completely 
(though it causes other problems as noted in my previous mail).  Maybe I'll 
try an nVidia card from a different manufacturer (this one was 3D Fuzion I 
think).

Do you have any suggestion how to "electrically shield the card"?  Aluminum 
foil wrapped in plastic perhaps?  Obviously bare foil seems extremely 
risky...

Thanks,
