Video "Crackle" in XP

[psykotikpenguin]

Well, I recently built myself a new system and since then have taken advantage of the 1.4 Ghz processer to rip some DVD movies. I'm not a newbie at this, since I've been doing it for a while, but now I've noticed something strange. The audio from any video file, DivX or otherwise, when played under Windows XP on my new system "crackles" horribly. On my other systems they play fine! I've tried everything. To see if the problem lay within my soundcard, I went out and bought a Soundblaster Live! Card and the file still crackles! I'm not concerned about the waste of money (I needed a sound card anyway) but its almost unbearable to watch video on the system. Audio files alone play perfectly under any player, but Video under ANY player (Windows Media Player, BSplayer, PowerDivX, PowerDVD XP) has audio that crackles like hell. The same files play flawlessly on the other systems mind you...I'm, at my wit's end.

Please help =(

I had the same problem. Seems to be related to the way
Windows "shares" the IRQs.
Look if your sound card it's not sharing the video card IRQ.
Disable Plug and Play option in Bios.
Look at system information / hardware / conflicts.

You may need to move your sb to other PCI slot.


Good luck!
