Ok, I'm going to have to ship my desktop back to acer for repair. The crackling and skipping is back, it might be ok for a few hours but then it just sort of randomly starts up again. It ruins the sound in your games and dvds. Only a restart fixes it. It might do it from every 10 to maybe 30 seconds. I don't think it has anything to do with the realtek audio since my external creative x fi does the same darn thing.
I'm starting to believe that this isn't normal even for Windows 7. I'm beginning to think if it really was windows 7 there would be millions of people complaining about it. Anyway, what should I tell acer?
Also I don't know if it's related but every once in a while like every couple of mins or so sometimes when I'm like while watching a DVD there will be some noticable artifacts and it looks like the video is almost going to skip. I was also playing a game where the screen would kind of flicker. That shouldn't happen with a pc like this, here is the specs: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16883103230
