crackling noise
Hello,
I have an Asus P4C800-E Deluxe motherboard and a P4 3gig CPU (o/clocked to 3.21g), 2 X 512mg PC3200 Kingmax DDR ram, an ATI 9600XT video card with the latest Cat drivers, 2 X 160gig Seagate Sata drives config as RAID0 on the Intel Raid connectors on the motherboard, 1 X Tekram U160 SCSI card that has a 36gig Fujitsu 10K U320 drive (boot drive) as well as a Western Digital 80gig IDE drive with a SCSI adapter attached. Two optical drive, Liteon 1653 DVDRW and Pioneer 109 on IDE Channel 2. Also installed on the motherboard is an an Audigy 2ZS Sound Card, an a Leadtek XP2000 Expert TV card. I also have the motherboards USB and Firefire ports enabled. I have had this setup for approx. 6 months and other than changing the SCSI boot drive from an old IBM 10k 18g drive to the Futjitsu. I have also recently installed the two optical drives which replaced an on LG DVD burner. The problem that I have recently become aware of is that during hardisk activity of the main boot drive ( the Fijitsu SCSI drive) I can hear crackling coming from the speakers (Logitech 640s). Granted the problem may have been there before but now it is very noticable especially as the speaker volume is turned up. I was thinking that it might be an IRQ issue and have swapped the sound, scsi and TV cards around in the PCI slots, but the crackling buzzing sound of hardisk activity can still be heard throught the speakers. I have the latest Audigy drivers installed. Has anyone any ideas what the fix could be?? Regards, Shane |
