Help! Problem with Speakers crackling after re-format

[stoner_1000]

Hey
Basically i have an alienware pc that running on windows vista i recently reformatted the pc and have been having issues with my sound crackling ever since. Ive installed all the realtek audio drivers. Tested my krk rokit 5 speaklers which are plugged in to the pc direct using a 2:1 jack wire. on a diff pc there working fine. Have also tried plugging them/headphones into the front sound jack on the pc still crackles.

Its quite a wierd problem it crackles on vista sounds, games, youtube/stream videos and mp3 player software but for some reason when you put the stream/videos on full screen it stops and the sound works fine....

I AM BLAGGED any help on this matter would be masssssssssively apreciated

Thanks Chris

Are you getting your drivers from the Realtek website or that of your manufacturers?

Tried both, of the Cd that alienware provided and off the Realtek website.


Also the wierdest thing about it is when any program is fullscreen mode the sound mend's itself and stops crackling.

Sounds like dodgey drivers or interference. Check all the cards and wires are plugged in properly in your PC.

Have you totally uninstalled the drivers before doing a fresh install of the audio drivers ? also check bios settings are correct for audio.
