Hi. I seem to be having a problem with playing sounds on my computer.
When ever I play music/play a game, there is a soft but prominent (and VERY annoying) crackling sound. It's not always there, it comes and goes every few seconds as the music/sounds change.
I know it's not the speakers, because when I plug my iPod directly into the speakers, the sound is not there. I've tried 2 different sets of speakers, and each one has this problem.
What could be causing this? Is it fixable?
(I have a theory that the soundcard built into my mobo is dying, is that possible?)
I have tried connecting it to the front panel connectors and the rear. Also, the sound is not there with headphones.
