Sound crackling, clicking etc. when playing sounds

Repa24 · 02 Sep 2015

No more progress in the problem, i'll probably buy a new PC with Win10 anways, so let's see how that will work out.
I mean, if it's a windows issue, we can't be the only ones who hear it? That would be strange with Windows being the most used OS, wouldn't it?

Back in the days, when i played Minecraft (yes i know...) i drove with the minecart quietly often (no soundcrackling). When i play Minecraft now and get into a minecart, right at the point where the loop of the minecart-sound stops and begins, i get the pop-sound / crackling noise. Therefore, something must have happened to my PC, software or something else.

Hmm now just before you rush out and buy another PC for the record I don't really like 10 anyway although this sounds (no pun intended) to me like a hardware issue rather than a software but please run these to get them out of the way

ADW download from bleepingcomputer delete any rubbish found with the malware scans

NB If anyone is runningKaspersky security it may rant about ADW - just ignore it or disable it for awhile

Now I do know a member I know is really good at this stuff and if we come up with nothing after this then I will ask him for help.

Now I suppose you have checked all cables sockets plugs etc? It would be very unlucky to get two MB's in a row that are bad but not out of the realms of possibilities.

Tried all of the things described in your post and reinstalled Windows because of graphic-problems, sound problem is still there.

I've been on travel and haven't done much lately on the forum. I was asked to comment on this.

First thing, run the free DPC Latency Checker and Resplendence Latency Mon and see what they show. They may help to isolate the problem.

I remember this type of problem from years ago when I worked on the Dell forums. Been so long that I don't remember what was done to resolve this.

Hello,
first of all, thanks for your help.
I already tried the DPC Latency Checker a while ago, everything was in the green area. I got the same results when i tried it today.

The Latency Mon programm shows those 2 red bars, i'll see what i can do in terms of the described BIOS settings.

Latency Mon should list programs and which ones are the major causes.

I have two desktops with ASRock motherboards, one is the same as you have (with an i5 3550 and 16GB RAM) and the other is a Z77 Professional Fatal1ty (with an i7 3770 and 16GB of RAM). I don't have any problems with either.

Well, the programm-list shows a .exe (sorted by hard pagefaults) which is a part of my antivirus (GDATA). The thing is, even if i uninstalled it, the problem wont go away (already tested that).
I already used the antivirus before i got my soundproblems, so that can't be the problem for sure.
The second process showing high amount of hard pagefaults is svchost.exe which is a process by windows, obviously i can't stop that one.

I still have to check the BIOS settings, let's see what i can do there.
