installed new gfx card, was a ATI Radeon X1950 Pro

it worked , but when ingame i get a weird crackling noise, its only when ingame and when not loading, so when loading map or start up BSS thing it dosnt crackle, but when ingame it dose. also when i alt tab it dose not crackle and dose the same in other games.

any ideas ?

What's your soundcard and motherboard chipset.

I have huge problems with Audigy SE + VIA K7V600 chipset combination (crackling sound, with newest drivers huge performance loss).

mainboard chipset from CPUZ = i915P/i915G

no idea on soundcard

from what i know its integrated

Hm, if it's integrated, than it shouldn't be the problem.

What have you done since you replaced the graphic card?

Did you try messing with the ingame sound settings (sound quality, software/hardware rendering, EAX off/on)?

nope, just gfx settings

Try to mess up with the sound settings to find out what's wrong.



BTW, what was your previous card? Did you change drivers?

ya i downloaded the drivers, said i already had them and needed to uninstall before installing new ones, i clicked ok and they installed anyway

you forgot to use drirvercleanerpro and turn your AV off when you removed/reinstalled the drivers didn't you? and did you delete your BF2 cache folder?

He has it in other games as well..

i don't know if it will work but try raising your pci latency in bios setup.

Incurable Soundcard Stuttering?

hmm, could it be power issues then?

I hear a little of "crackling" when driving the apc, i've got AC97 integrated soundcard, in the laptop.

how do i find out my gfx card details ? i still got this bug.... even happens out of games when scrolling through websites
