I may have been a little over the top in my remarks about Linux, but I will chalk it up to frustration. And to be honest, I blame Gigabyte as much as Linux. I think there is something in their design with regard to how the input to the sound card is handled when it is not being used that produces the hum.
I will take a look at your suggestion as to a possible solution, but I am not very hopeful. I should also note that I now feel that I do not have the skill set to solve this problem, if it is solvable, and that further effort looking for a solution is simply wasting more time.
As a result, I have decided to try an alternate approach. I found an inexpensive USB sound card (dongle if you like) on Amazon with a large number of good reviews for less than $10. I am only going to use with monitoring scripts that I created to alert me to events on the server via Morse code so fidelity is not a problem. When it comes in, it should at least help me decide if that is a viable approach and if the source of the problem is the internal sound card.
Thanks to all that offered suggestions.
