Crackling from streaming audio

Phy · 09-16-2011, 10:28 AM

Whenever I watch/listen to something from my browser (Firefox) on my 32" Vizio connected by HDMI the sound is distorted/crackles. I can work around it by turning on the low frequency protection, then turning it back off. But I have to do that every time I open a new stream and it's a bit of a pain in the ass.

I'm wondering how I permanently stop the distortion, and as a side question, how can I get Firefox to stop only playing through the HDMI port for when I don't want to watch it on my T.V. (I have the playback device defaulted to the computer speakers)

Download DPC Latency Checker and see if what your DPC latency is:

Take a screenshot and post the results here.

I fixed the problem by removing some programs that were supposed to fix a related issue but never did.

Although if anyone knows a GOOD way to get sound out of 2 devices rather than just the one I have defaulted that would help with the other problem.

A splitter or KVM might be an option.
