    Been having them in a few games recently, makes them fairly unplayable. Its been specially bad in Dawn of war. Sound is crackly and repeats on itself...if that makes sense ? All spoken dialoug is jumpy, crackly and cant be made out. I have an onboard soundcard hooked up creative inspire 5.1 speakers. Ive never had these problems before. Im running xp. Any ideas?

    oh...and it doesnt happen with music or any other sounds, just games.

    Might be better off in the computers forum, but here some really simple things to try out first.

    go to start=>Run and type "dxdiag" and press Run.

    The directx panel should open, when its finished its thing, click sound and click test. You can also test the music on the music section.

    Drop the hardware acceleration and test/run a game thats affected

    Hmmmm......I've completely forgotten what else to do. Anyway, look up the maker of the board and update the sound card drivers.

    Sorry i couldn't be of more help.

    Yeah tried all that, nothing. I should really hook up some other speakers to it and see if its a hardware or software problem.
