Hi!

When I play music through my CD-R/DVD-RW Disc Drive it produces a crackle kind of sound which is really annoying :(

Does anyone know of this problem, and how to fix it?

Thanks :)

Well, not really... I noticed it started happening when I first built the computer... But this drive was put in previous computers and it ran fine...

errmm, I'm not exactly sure how it started, otherwise I would be able to fix it :p

Anything else?

No, I mean when I play music straight from the drive off an Audio CD, playing out of my Hi-Fi speakers... and it isn't the speakers by the way ;)

Thanks though ;)

bumping after 2 hours? anyway, are you using onboard sound, or a seperate sound card? either way, uninstall the drivers and re install them.

it may also be the connection, make sure that the 3.5mm jacks are plugged in snuggly

Ok, I use on-board sound... I'll give un-installing then re-installing a go...

As I said, I use my Hi-fi speakers... They go through those red and white Audio wires - not 3.5mm jacks... And yes they are plugged in nice and snugly...

P.S. You do know 3.5mm is very small? 0.35cm to be exact...I have never seen a jack that small :eek:

the ports on a sound cards are 3.5mm and what do your hi fi speakers plug into then

ohh, ok, so you mean a jack input which recieves the jack ;)

My Hi-Fi speakers plug into my Hi-Fi :p

I then have a red and white cable (audio) which plugs in through the back into "Auxillary" and then into a little device called "M-Audio Fast Track". The M-Audio Fast Track USB device then plugs into my computer :D

I am not too sure if this is the problem. The audio cd was burn with nero? Because back then I have a problem burning the cd with nero and making that crackling sound also like the cd was messed up. If you are using nero try updating it to the recent nero on the website that is 6.6.0.12 and you can find the serial on google. I hope that helps.

oh, so you got it set up through usb.did the usb device come with any drivers, if so, have you tried re-installing them? so the speakers are fine, and the cd's are fine.

That is not the problem, because before I had this device, I was using computer speakers, and it did still produce a crackley noise.

what program are you using to play themusic
Click to expand...

Windows Media Player and WinAMP both produce this crackle noise...

Some of the CD's were proper ones bought from a shop, and yes, they did have this problem too...

It can't be a faulty cd/dvd drive because it played music fine in previous computers...

Are there any settings within windows which have something to do with playing music or anything?

isn't M-Audio Fast Track for recording guitars and vocals and stuff like that. Could i ask why your running "sound out" through this device? What happens if you just plug your Auxillary output from your hifi straight into the jack plug socket for "sound out" on your mobo. Not using the usb device at all.

Recap - you have
1 X 3.5mm Jack to RCA Cable
plug jack end into jack plug socket for "sound out" on your mobo
plug RCA end (the red and white) into Auxillary at back of hi-fi

Play music...
