Sound Problem

<div class="IPBDescription">Sound Card?</div> Recently, I bought a new motherboard (A7N8X) following the frying of my old one.

I have this problem with my sound card (integrated to the nForce) where there's interference and lots of crackling, except when I put my sound at max. I thought it was the drivers, but I updated them and there's still nothing better.

I'm pretty sure it's not a problem with my headset.


Anyone had a similar problem?

    have you tried different headphones/speakers?

    played around with digital/analogue outputs?

    What board do you have? it might be that. I'm sure I read something about an actual motherboard causing the interferance.

    How about your Software Sound Acceleration or whatever that was? (Access it through diagdx) I had to set mine all the way down to play Fallout 1 and 2 with sound, forgot to put it back up, tried to play an MP3... well, my ears haven't QUITE recovered.

    Hmm it's not the headphones. (They're those Zalman 5.1 surround-in-your-head things and they work normally)

    One thing more, if I mute, there's still the problem. The weird thing, moving the mouse around makes interference sounds.

    The motherboard is an A7N8X-E

    The problem is only on the normal green jack (forward/speakers) and on nothing else.

    Hrm, open up your case and check the IDE cables and make sure the sound card (unless integrated) is in the pci/agp slot correctly. I had a problem where my sound would SSSS-St-ts-t-stsst-stu-stutter everytime the HDD started to spin up, turns out the IDE cable to it came loose after I moved it from my basement upstairs.

    no, it's the integrated chipset in the nForce 2.
