Audio Static Problems...

MaggIvy · 30th November 2006, 03:29

I'm not sure if this is the place to post it or not but I have been having troubles playing audio, there is static when i watch videos. This is with typical music videos, with Xvid as video compression and Lame MP3 for audio. I've tried other players (WMP11 and VLC). With VLC there was no problems in the beginning but now they have surfaced (it originally started WMP 11).

I'm thinking there is a mess or something wrong with my audio codecs. Does anyone have any ideas as to what or how to fix it?

Videolan uses its own Codecs, which means your problem might be the following:

DirectX - Download the latest DirectX v9.0c

Your onboard audio drivers. Look on your motherboard's website for any audio driver updates.

Finally, check your volume slider controls in Windows. Sometimes the installation of a new program messes with the levels and all of a sudden your WAV volume slider is cranked.

This is weird, I restarted my computer and now there is no static, it's only when I switch from small screen to full screen now...for like 5 seconds or less. But I'm still gonna see for any updates and whatnot, static is annoying...

And what is a volume slider? Or WAV Volume Slider?

Yours will look different, but you'll get the idea:
