Linux Sound Problems

I just finished installing Fedora Core 3. When asked to test out my sound card, everything seemed to work fine. Now when I boot up my system and use Fedora, there is a constant buzzing noise in the left ear piece of my headphone. I have no idea why it started doing this. If you play sound files you can still here them in the background along with the buzzing sound. The sound card I'm using is a Creative Sound Blaster 4.1 PCI Card. Can anyone tell me why this is happening?
 
Usually I'd get buzzing sounds when one of the channels is up to loud.

Open the command line, and use alsamixer command to check out the levels. Make sure that the output and pcm volumes are not past 80%

there are other things that could be funky, but this is the first thing that I look for.
 
Having the channels turned up to high seems like that is most likely the reason. The right ear piece workls perfect, its just the left earpiece that does it. I'll try using alsamixer first and see what that does.
