Philips Rhythmic Edge PSC703

I recently bought this 4 channel card with the T-bird Avenger chip. I installed with the provided drivers on the cd under W2K. When I listen to my music under winamp, each time I click on a song, I hear a clipping noise. I've tried replugging the speaker in the sound card but that did nothing. I'm using the Altec ATP3s. My Live 5.1 didn't have that clipping noise. ANy ideas?

Update your drivers. Never trust the ones that come with your hardware.

I just installed the new drivers but there is still a popping sound when each song starts. It's not too obvious but it is annoying. I have the mp3 files stored on a slow hard drive. Could that be why it does that..?

Did you install the 1.70 drivers? These drivers and the latest version of WinAmp cured the popping sounds for me. Also be sure your soundcard is not sharing any hardware irqs with another card. The last resort is to disable ACPI.

I have the 1.57 drivers on the philips website. Where did you get the 1.70 drivers and what version of winamp are you using? What's ACPI?

Make sure the pc volume control is not turned all the way up. Use your the volume control on your speakers to raise and lower volume with pc volume st to 3/4 or so.

I just installed the 1.70 drivers and the new winamp but to no avail. WHen there is little coming out of the speakers, the pops are very evident. And pc volume is around 80%. It made no difference to go lower than that. Besides that, is sounds fine.

The 1.83WDM drivers are available on Windows Update now, so far they are greatly improved over the 1.70 version.

The beta 1.84's are available.
