Ok this problem is beyond help. I have a Sound Blaster Audigy Soundcard and the other day i uninstalled it because I wasn't getting any sound. It was working perfect all along. I realized after I had uninstalled it that a wire was loose and I pushed it in and reinstalled.

Everytime I play a music video of any nature i'm getting tons of crackling and every time i skip forward on a mpeg it speeds the song up 3 times the speed almost chipmonk sytle.

I uninstalled every possible media encluded video card, and every type of device in the device manager many times. I uninstalled and reinstalled many new and old drivers, I did the same after i shut down the on board sound card.

I tested a few theries and noticed there isn't much a problem with .mov formats or .asf or .wmv

Therefor i'm thinking its a mpec coder or something wrong but I've installed the latest drivers of DIVX
and i've installed mpeg2codec installer. I've done everything possible and I'm trying not to go to the entent to format. I'm trying everything I can to avoid formatting.

I'm using Windows 2000 and here is some of my computer parts:

If anyone knows what the heck i'm doing wrong please tell me, I am so stumped

Thanx to anyone that can help out.
I really appriciate it.
Thanx,
Dave

This is NOT HIGHLY TECHNICAL. This forum is not for troubleshooting.

This isn't highly technical.

See that you replaced the wire to its original location. Try some things.

I would need a photo of the sound card.

All the wiring is perfectly fine because i haven't touched the inside of the computer at all.
Because before uninstalling the card it worked perfectly fine.

So the hardware wouldn't have any effect because it hasn't been modified.

Any other suggestions?

sounds like a msc cap or resister got blown, perhaps a diode from the emu chip.

Take the card out, look for any black residue on the board.
