Hello
I thought I'd register and come here to seek for help. I recently got a new computer and I've had this same problem since installing win 7 on my fresh machine. What happens then? When I'm watching a video, listening to music, gaming or anything the sound keeps popping. It's a slight crack/pop about every 3 seconds when using winamp/WMP/VLC/MPC to watch videos, listen to cd's/mp3's and a bit more irregularly (or at least harder to notice) when gaming. I'ts especially annoying with ambient-like sounds when the cracking can be heard very clearly.
I've tried installing all the new drivers for my mobo and soundcard but that doesn't seem to help. I even bought a "real" soundcard to replace the integrated one but that didn't help either. Now that I read about someone having fixed a similar issue by disabling CPU-throttling I thought I'd come and ask: How exactly do you do that?
You can see my specs on my profile (at least I think so) but here are the important bits:
-Gigabyte ga-ma790xt-ud4p Motherboard
-Soundblaster X-Fi titanium soundcard
-AMD Phenom II 955BE
-Windows 7 pro OEM
I tried to look for the settings in bios but couldn't really find anything. I'm pretty much a newbie when it comes to configuring bios anyway.
Any tips would be highly appreciated!
