Hello, i have no clue whatsoever how to fix this issue so i figured i'd turn to some online help. I will try to explain the situvation. I have just bought almost an entire new computer and my father installed all the peices. When we had installed every driver etc etc, any sound i played on the computer, either through headphones or speakers, had a buzzing, crackling sound with it. When i turned of the animations on windows media player the sound stopped only on songs i played through there. I could watch a movie there al though. So any songs played of the computer is fine, but when it comes to sounds like logging on msn, listening to other people talking on ventrilo etc. will produce that buzzing sound. Secondly, when i try to play anything steamed from internet ( Youtube for instance,) no sound is played in speakers, but in the headset they are. I just double checked the plugs with the speaker system etc and everything is in order. I run a 5.1 speaker system if that helps. The complete list of my new components is; Soundcard: High Definition Audio: SupremeFX 2 Audio Card. screen card: XFX GeForce 8800GTS 650M 512MB GDDR3, PCI-Express 2.0, 2xDVI/HDTV/HDCP,650Mhz RAM: Corsair Value S. PC5300 DDR2 1024MB x4 Prosessor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz Socket LGA775, 8MB, BOXED w/fan Motherboard: Asus P5E, X38, Socket-775, DDR2, ATX, Firewire, GbLAN, 2xPCI-Ex(2.0)x16 As i said, i installed every driver, looked for new ones. and the Supreme FX audio card doesn't have a driver as far as i can find. Any help well appreciated.
