Windows 7 64bit - Asrock Extreme 4 z77 mobo - ALC898 codec
So ive been having this issue (noticed it a while back) when im either listening to music, watching films etc through my pc where the sound crackles and pops/distorts very randomly
At first i thought it was my old logitech 6.1 speakers (cable was F'd) but worked most of the time. Swapped for a temp creative 2.1 system and still the same. Changed for some new logitech Z506 and still does it. does it with 2 different sets of headphones too!
Tried all drivers, updated right to the latest, fully uninstalled - removed from registry etc and re-installed but still no luck, it does seem to get better with every driver update but i think thats placebo.
Only things left to do would be a fresh install of windows? try a dedicated sound card? ive been trying to find a solution for ages but having no luck. quite common though apparently with this ALC and Win7
any help would be appricated
