Harrya - per your suspicion, the sound levels of the HTPC were indeed maxed out. I reset them lower, and the problem is completely gone. Thanks for the easy tip.
'Crackle' coming from speakers when using HTPC
Hi Folks:
I use a home theatre PC for movies, using my CRT Projector and a pretty high end stereo audio setup (see my virtual system). I find that I get a bit of a 'crackle' sound now and again, especially when sound increases suddenly. I'm wondering what the cause is and how I might resolve it. Any ideas? My two guesses might be to add some type of power conditioning, or to change sound cards? But, I'm particularly keen on any resolution that woudl not involve fresh expenditure. i'm just forked out fresh cash for new speakers and new CD player.
Thanks!
John.
