Hissing on USB Creative Xmod

Sun Jul 19, 2015 4:11 am

Hi guys,

I am trying to get my Pi2 to work as a bluetooth speaker. It's going pretty well so far and I could get the phone to connect via bluetooth and play music to the speakers that is connected to a Creative Xmod. However, the sound quality is pretty terrible. There's constant hissing that I couldn't get rid of. The hissing presist when nothing is playing (ie: after rebooting the Pi, hissing comes back once power is applied to the USB card)

What I have tried so far:
[*] disabled audio dither (no luck as it is USB device that is hissing)
[*] reduced volume to 80% but still no luck
[*] added / removed tsched to /etc/pulse/default.pa (load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0)
