Bought an overclockers system that arrived yesterday, its this one http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-421-OE&groupid=43&catid=2475 with crossfire 290x's.

Wired her up yesterday and left her downloading some games on steam overnight, when I play games on my 5.1 system I am getting horrible crackling, but ONLY in games, figured it might be the on board sound, so installed my G35 headset, and getting the EXACT same problem!

This ONLY happens in games, tried Skyrim, Crysis 3 and Bioshock 3 and have the same result in all of them.

Will most likely contact overclockers on monday, but if anyone has any ideas I would be very grateful, many thanks.
 
Yes, I get perfect sound through all 5.1 speakers, and my headphones, until I play a game, movies, music etc etc all fine, games crackle and pop and skipping, its unplayable.

Oddly enough I just installed BF4, and the sound is perfect.

Skyrim, Crysis 3 and Bioshock 3 none stop crackle in them all through both headphones and speakers.
 
OK disabling crossfire seems to fix skyrim, "mostly" fix bioshock 3, though there is still a little popping here and there but not bad, not tried crysis 3 yet.

This is a bit silly, going to have a search but is this something common to a lot of games? seems a waste of money to have crossfired these now :(
 
OK think i got it, its vsync, with both cards enabled and vysnc turned on, you get stutter, crackly audio, turn vsync off and its all gone!

Must be a driver issue, so relieved now, after spending 3k on a PC and being unable to play anything was a bit down, this has brightened me up a lot :)

Thanks a lot for the help everyone, very much appreciated!
