Popping Sound!

I would like to know why this is such a f-ing uncurable problem.... I have a Audigy ZS 24-bit and have bought new speakers...etc.... and the problem still exists.... It is a little random popping noise that once its there never leaves unless i turn off the computer completely... and then it comes back eventually. I heard the monitor makes these noises sometimes but not in this case because it comes from the speakers. It comes from both the ones I got with the computer and the ones I bought. I have no idea how to fix this and have bought a new sound card a long time ago to try to fix this. Does overclocking make this happen do you think? I have lowered the hardware acceration, updated and reinstalled my drivers and sound card...etc...

No, that doesn't have anything to do with it. I've had issues with the CPU being at 100% utilization, then having random popping noises occur. It also occurs when you have sound cards volume turned up, as it has poor power handling at higher watts.

I had a problem like that when I had my old PC. I had bought a new sound card and speakers and was still getting an interference while playing music. I thought maybe it was CD-ROM drive too (not reading a CD right or something like that), but I ended up buying a new video card (just because I needed a new video card, not because I thought it would stop the noise) and the interference stopped. I still to this day dont understand why a video card solved my problems but it did.

One of the biggest things that interfears with the sound is the little convertor that goes from DVI to AGP it creates alot of static on onboard sound. If you get a decent sound card that should solve the problem.

check to see if you have the 'boost' checked on your microphone within the sound utilities. If you do then uncheck it, turn the mic level down and see if that solves it.

tnx a lot! you actually solved MY problem...

hope the original poster got it right too

tnx,

one thing that i find a problem a lot with is internal sound cards, all you should have to do is mute the "cd player" volume under the volume control properties. that should do it.
