AsusP4P800 Deluxe, onboard sound is crackling&popping like a bowl of Rice Crispies.
Recently bought a new rig, Asus P4P800 Deluxe, dual channel 2*256M Corsair DDR 400MHz, PIV2.8. Running WinXP with SP1.
I'm having a rather unique onboard sound problem that I haven't seen listed on this forum so far. At random intervals, either one or the other of my stereo speakers will let off a kind of crackling pop. It isn't a problem with my speakers, as I've reproduced the problem with a pair of headphones plugged directly into the Motherboard sound jack. It isn't a driver problem, as I've updated all of my drivers. It isn't a problem specific to one particular media type, as it occurs with MP3s, Video files and games.
Someone suggested to me that I should turn off Bassboost and keep my Master and Wav volumes below 50%, which is not only a crap solution for such an expensive (and purportively good) board, but also which didn't work.
Anybody know of any possible causes or solutions for this problem? It's 2 weeks after a fresh install and upgrade, and I'm feeling a wee bit cheesed off here.:angry2:
Edit: oh yeah; occasionally the autodetect will ask me what I have plugged into the green plug, even though I didn't unplug my speakers.
Edit: I've done NO overclocking, everything is at stock BTW.
