I recently had to remove my vid card and ship it to Gainward because it was causing what looked like dead pixels on my monitor. While it was out I installed the drivers for the onboard video that came with my Intel 845gebvl2 board. When I got my vid card back I installed it and the video worked fine. However, now my speakers (Altec 2100's) are randomly crackling when I play music. I switched speakers to make sure that wasn't the problem and it's not. Anyone have any suggestions of what I can do, or should I just go buy a new sound card like the Audigy 2.
