Speaker Help

[Kraynes71]

My speakers have been crackling for a little while now and i am sick of it.

Here is wat is happening. My speakers will crackle some times, and other times they won't. they are the same whether i am on the internet or not. the only specific time that i notice they crackle is when i plug something in to a usb port. at one point, my speakers were working perfect, then i plugged in a thumbdrive and they went haywire. they continued to crackle, so i didnt use the usb for a while. after about of couple of days, they worked fine again.

if anyone has any idea what i could do to fix this please let me know.

thnx.

Interference issue. Are your speakers shielded? Could be a problem, but I suspect another. You could try messing around with the IRQ's, making sure the USB root hubs and audio devices are on different IRQ's. Or you could try updating the audio drivers.

But a new sound card to replace that onboard audio would definitely solve the problem if the above solutions don't work.

Some times fans and other components make noise on sound card. My speakers generate noise when CD is spinning in the drive.
