Forum: Geek Forum Topic: Noisy Static Sound started by: Neophyre Posted by Neophyre on Jun. 02 2001,00:09
Ever since i installed my 2nd hard drive, whenever i go to play any mp3s or wav's, the sound just goes all fucked up, static, and crackly.i've got no idea how to fix this. conflicting irq's? Posted by Spydir on Jun. 02 2001,01:35
I get crackly, static problems when my speakers aren't plugged all the way in, and if they are then turning the litle jack thing helps sometimes... seriously. I dunno what your new harddrive would have to do with it.------------------ Posted by SLATE on Jun. 02 2001,04:56

lol yes they are plugged in.there is nothing wrong with the jack. at this very moment i am getting perfect sound. only wav's and mp3's fuck up. cd's work fine. ------------------ Posted by CatKnight on Jun. 02 2001,20:01
yeah sounds like an irq conflict or something. cd audio works cuz it's analog and just goes straight to the speakers, while wav's require the soundcard's processor. try switching the slot of your soundcard, see if that helps.

what soundcard and Mobo do you have?

i had a similar problem with my 7ZXR... there's a bios update (i think its F6) which fixes a "HDD with sound issue". basically i think there was a conflict with the on board sound and the hard drive, so when i used to read mp3's off my hard disk, i would get static. if you've got the same board, i would recommend the bios update
