hi triggerfinger! well i think i might try a complete system recovery. cyberpspace has it, has minutes left alone in the dark, ha ha. the thing is is that i like windows vista but downgrading to xp might be my only option.
this crackling sound might be able to be fix without a downgrade to windows xp on getting a new usb external sound card. ive been reading reviews and its most likely not a irq conflict. most laptops now a days simply do not have the irq issue of this but im still keep it in mind as a possible probable cause to the crackling sound. i will do my best to get this usb external sound card asap. see the cpu is giving out its bucks but my hardware is fighting for system resources thus enterrupting the sound.
mixy. oh and by the way im going to do a system recovery right now!!
