Good day!
I have a VERY annoying problem which I just can't seem to get fixed!
I'll start with some computer details, just post if you need more.
Desktop PC - Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Mainboard: MSI 870A-g54
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965 (black edition)
RAM: 2x 2GB Corsair DDR3 on Dual Channel
Graphics: AMD Radeon HD5870
Sound card: Creative Sound Blaster X-fi Xtreme Audio
HDD (which has OS installed onto): Corsair F40 SSD
Power supply: Corsair VX550W
What's happening is that when I'm play music on the computer I get this weird static sound in the background and if I try and play HD songs on youtube it all just bangs up and the sound sounds like it's being played through a metal tube or something, it's all too annoying! I also sometimes hear these static noises in the open-folder-click sound and loading-up-windows sound. I think it's all sounds >_>;
This happens with the on-board sound (I did uninstall the sound card drivers and removed the sound card from the computer while trying), the sound card (tried both enabled and disabled on-board audio from BIOS) and this also happens when using my G35 headset which is connected via USB. I think I have messed with every possible sound setting available on Windows 7 but I just can't seem to get this working. I'm *almost* positive it's not a software/driver related problem anymore since I've also done a fresh install anew but it didn't yield any results. I've read a few posts regarding static sound due to a bad power supply, does this describe itself as a power supply related problem?
I did not experience this problem on my previous Windows 7 install which was on a regular HDD and with a different motherboard and cpu. So a faulty motherboard? Lack of power due to new parts? Faulty SSD? I don't know, your guess is probably better than mine!
Thanks in advance,
Elías Andri
