Ok this has only seemed to start recently, say a day or so.
What happens is just randomly I guess, the audio when it plays begins to crackle, enough to make it unbarable. I first noticed it playing those lenore flash anims. Then noticed it happening in cool edit pro. BUT, and this is what threw me. I could still play audio through WMP9 and it didn't crackle atall, it sounded just fine, but go back to playing audio in anything else and it continued doing it.
It only crackled while the audio was playing, and from what I could tell the crackling was only coming through the left/right speakers as were the other sounds, not that thats much help. It made me think at first as if it was coming through too loud for the speakers, only it wasn't as the same files played fine in WMP9 even turned up. It wasn't the speakers as I tried another set and it still happened the same as above.
Rebooting did stop it and they play fine again, but im guessing it'll happen again eventually.
All drivers appear fine, and none of the files seem to be using any strange codecs for the audio. I thought it might be interfearance from something else, but again the fact sound played fine in media player meant that couldn't have been the cause. Same can be said with the hardware, if it was doing it in one thing it would have done it in them all if that were the case.
Anyway has anyone else experienced this? Or something similar. All drivers are uptodate, except the ATI drivers which I've kept at 4.7 I think because later ones seemed to be buggy for me. Audio though is all uptodate as are other drivers.
It's just a strange problem so if anyone recognises it and knows what might be the cause lemmie know. It does from what I can tell seem to be a software issue though, but where?.
