[ct-user] [Fwd: DVP Problem]

Sounds like some sort of ground loop between the computer, radio and speaker.  You may have to add or remove ground straps to see if it helps.

Try reseating the card in the computer.  In one cable that we looked at, the braid was attached at both ends (computer and mic).  You may want to ensure it is only connected at one end and see if this solves the problem.
