i dont know exactly because i bought this pc second hand maybe is it the software because the volume bar freezes
go to device manager to check your drivers. You also might wanna check your speakers too make sure their not blown, cause blown speakers will tend to pop and crack like that.
If you follow the steps in the link below it will show step by step how to do it. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Tips-for-fixing-common-sound-problems
the speakers are ok because once i used my headphones and the same crackling sound came. so this is my motherboard asus crosshair 3 and this has also its sondcard which is supremefx x-fi now when i go to device manager and into sounds 2 lines drops down i don't know which one is the soundcard driver the first one is AMD high defeniton audio device and the second is soundMAX integrated digital hd audio
ok thanks for your replies, so what might be the problem exactly? im a bit green in computers, so if you just enlighten me a bit about this problem pls so fist thing is it a conflict between them? how to disable the one im not using? thanks
why do you have an " AMD high defeniton audio device" when not listed as a driver in this link? http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_AM3/Crosshair_III_Formula/#download it appears you do not have a pci soundcard according to this link. http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_AM3/Crosshair_III_Formula/#specifications
i have that sound card the supreme fx the speakers are plugged in it and the driver is the soundMAX integrated digital hd audio now when i go to playback theres this icon with a monitor showing, and it says AMD hd sound device not plugged in when i right click on it and go in properties it seems that its enable, should i disable it, maybe thats the problem?
