Have you installed all the latest updates for the computer, and checked for new updates for your soundcard?

 

[nokturnalchrist]

yes i have tryed..

Could be an overheating issue, have ya checked that ya processor etc is seated properly? Could also be any number of components causing the problem, have you checked in event viewer for errors?

my procssor is seated fine, i dont know where to check the event viewer...

have you tried the latest sound drivers or patches? Also is the connection to the card from the speakers ok? This sounds kind of weird, but trying another speaker set if you have one.

well, yes i have tryed the right patches and drivers and i use a head set.
the onlything i think might be the problem is either conflicting issues with the onboard audio/onboard audio drivers, but i tryed disabling the onboard audio in the bios and it still did it so i dont know what to say..
