ok i have a set of logitech Z5500 and they crackle when in 24bit mode. does anyoen know why. it used to not but i reinstalled windows and it just started. please help

It's most likely your soundcard. What do you have set on 16-bit? Is that the spdif setting thingy? Also, are you using analogue connection with the speakers?

It's almost definantly the sound card. Those expensive ass speakers better not crackle even a slight..

 

[G|F.E.A.D|Killa]

ya they took my leg and my arm. but ya im using the optical out. i also have to keep it at 16bit to keep it from crackling.

 

[dualhYbrid]

prolly the soundcard....
my x-fi crackled........
then i got a lil pci slot fan, and its blowing on the heat sink... no audio troubles yet!

 

[G|F.E.A.D|Killa]

so i should get rid of the onboard lol and go a X-FI

Guys please use proper spelling and grammar.

I dont really want to see the ''YA'' and ''Prolly''

 

[G|F.E.A.D|Killa]

wow, i didnt know we need to use proper grammer on this site.

Is your Soundcard close to any other card in your system? Might be that distortion comes from a graphics card that is mounted to close or something like that.

 

[G|F.E.A.D|Killa]

no i have an onboard HD controller.

QFT - ROFL!!!

But seriously, I've heard that sound cards can get really hot and not function well as a result. I'd make sure it's getting some air. Just a suggestion.

 

[G|F.E.A.D|Killa]

oh i got air.

Ah, yes... then that shouldn't be a problem. Not sure what's going on with the crackling then.

 

[aaronman]

Is the chipset Realtek HD? Because that's what I have on my motherboard and it crackles in 24bit mode and on sample rates above 44.1KHz.

It's just the way onboard audio is... sorry. Get yourself a soundcard and say goodbye to sound problems for... at least 2 weeks.
