one would think that a "buzz" or "hum" would be from actual hardware
connections, and not have much to do with the software/drivers.. so, what i
might do is, get the noise happening, via hdmi, then, i would open
alsamixer, and enable *all* controls, and try tweaking settings there,
thinking that, maybe a loop is being created somehow, where, a noise is
being introduced, though, i think that is not likely. it could be as simple
as the device not providing good linux support. what i might do is simply
check for, and apply any updates available, then, i would try different
live iso's. live iso's allow an easy way to try hardware with different
kernels/drivers and alsa versions. i would unplug everything but the HDMI
from the machine, and test.. and also, consider recording it, so that a
volunteer could try and identify the sound as a ground loop, or a hard
drive/fan noise, etc.. cheers
