On Board Sound

[Vertiginous]

Hey Guys, new to the forum and such so I just wanted to ask you guys if anyone can solve this problem cause it really annoys me.

Alright I just bought the ASUS P4C800 Motherboard with Onboard 6.1 channel sound, now Im thinking ASUS - 6.1 channel onboard sound has to be good, well the sound quality is awesome but I have like little Pops in my audio, like its not too annoying but after awhile It pisses me off, It happens when I play games and play mp3's. Any suggestions on how I can solve this? Or perhaps just purchase an Audigy 2 perhaps? Please help me out here

Sound like a similar problem to what I had with my Crystal SoundFusion chip. First, if it's when you are playing mp3's, switch media players. I know that Winamp was causing my audio to crack and pop, and when I played something else in WiMP it stopped.

Next try uninstalling and reinstalling drivers for your audio chip. This may do the trick if it's software-related, so check it out.

Hope this helps!

My vote would go for reinstalling the IDE and chipset drivers (get the newest versions ya can find), along with the lastest audio drivers.

I get a similar thing on with my onboard sound, but only when doing VERY heavy disk intensive operations.

WMP causes music to pop&crack on my onboard audio, winamp plays it just fine.

So yeah, try switching players/drivers
