    Crackley sound help plez

    hey guys,
    i have a minor issue with my sound and i believe it has something to do with my PC and not the speakers.

    The issue is when playing music or sounds you hear an occasional crackley noise every few seconds. It's really not that bigger deal but when you start hearing it u can't stop hearing it and is therefore frustrating.

    Theres a few possibilities that i believe it could have relation to. These are:

    - PC onboard sounds, possibly soundcard necessary?
    - The fact the music is downloaded and not from a CD?
    - Windows Media Player issue?
    - Incorrect equalization?

    Please help

    Is it with every song? Maybe theres an issue in the wiring of your speakers?

    It could be your equalization so have a fiddle round with that and see if it helps.

    To make sure its not the speakers, use headphones.

    Have you overclocked your PC or tried to overclock?

    Interference is the big cause here...

    Check where your PC is plugged into is a decent source for power

    Apart from that, Onboard sound drivers are the biggest player here!

    ksoz for the late reply, been busy. ill try and update the drivers and see what the go is

    EDIT: Updated drivers, absolutely no difference.
    Has the same problem with a headset also therefore it isn't the speakers.
