recently i completely formatted my hard drive (you can check the link here)

i reinstalled my sound driver (Realtek) but i still have the same issue. any help?

my sound system is the x-540 logitech

Is the driver installed correctly and working in device manager? Is it listed? does it have a yellow triangle on it?

Have yoou tried different cables?

Made sure everything is tight and not frayed?

etc

i wish it was that simple.

ive already went through all these steps before i posted on here. also ive tried using different speakers.

so far nothing different

heres some more info: when i change the quality of the sound (in the sound options) the static/cracking sound changes slightly. more drastic change between the highest and lowest quality.

i dont know if that helps, but thats what i notice

alright guys i FINALLY GOT A SOLUTION.

i emailed realtek and they sent me a beta driver to install. i guess the problem was:

The root cause problem was SiS chipset on the computer . The SiS chipset has some audio problem in Windows 7 .
