I observe noise which shows up periodically (every 5 seconds or so) when i use Asio sound card with the custom built audio processing application visualisation tab which displays the frequency analysis. The noise is not observed when using a Direct Sound card with the same audio.
I have tried changing the number of channels that are listening to the audio for Asio from 8 to 2 but that doesn't fix the issue! The sampling rate is 48kHz.( Tweaked it to 44kHz, doesn't fix the issue).
The audio processing application is written in C# and made use of NAudio API. I've included the images for the waveform in the link:
