Hi,
Alright, i bought a SB Audigy 2 Value in October last year. Its been really great ever since but lately ive been having a serious problem.
Today Ive just logged on to WoW and within minutes of playing the sound seems to go into a frenzy of crackling, popping, hissing, twinging and twanging sounds, really distortionate. It does this really loudly.
This problem happened a few days ago of which i simply thought it must be some sort of software collision with the onboard audio (which i didnt install the drivers for when i done a reformat a while back). It probably also resulted in 3 so called "serious crashes" reported by windows
At first i thought it was the graphics crashing the system, so i un-stalled the current drivers and got the new Nvidia ones. As for the sound card (the sound problem still occured after) i simply uninstalled the drivers, done a defrag, reinstalled drivers and it was fine for about 2 days, the system very stable.
Then of course it happend again today (no system crashes though, still stable).
I couldnt find any drivers or updates to the card so im in a tight spot.
FYI:
My system spec
AMD 64 3000+ @ 2.2Ghz
Asus A8N-SLI
1GB Geil Value RAM
GF 6600GT @ 600/1200
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Value
120GB WesternDigital HD
I'd also just like to know if its the sound card just failing and needs to be RAM'd or summink.
Cheers.
