| 1353500 | 2013-09-13 01:04:00 | I get this horrible clicking noise coming out of my headset when I play Fallout 3 (when I enter Megaton. Doesn't happen in the wasteland) or Fallout New Vegas (When I enter that hotel with the roller coaster in Prim) . Age of Empires 3 does the same thing. No other games seem to do it. It's probably my GPU as it already has coil whine. I just ignore that. But the clicking is intolerable. :badpc::mad: I use Razer Kraken headphones and the Razer Surround drivers. No difference made when I switch back to Realtek audio drivers. No sound card. I'm using a Corsiar CX 750 PSU. (I thought I'd better mention that because I've heard that PSU's can cause similar problems) Please help. Thanks.:) |

| 1353501 | 2013-09-13 01:13:00 | Well I can tell you its not a game sound, I am very familiar with those games and locations. Do you hear it when you have the sound going through speakers rather than headphones? |

| 1353502 | 2013-09-13 01:20:00 | I don't use speakers. But I could try some old speakers I have lying around. | ChazTheGeek (16619) | ||
| 1353503 | 2013-09-13 03:45:00 | USB headset or using the analog line out ?. I have a wireless logitech USB headset that will not work properly on one particular PC and I'm thinking it's a USB problem. Might start a thread on that at some point actually. |

| 1353504 | 2013-09-13 04:11:00 | Just a analog headset. Plugging in the speakers didn't make any difference either. | ChazTheGeek (16619) | ||
| 1353505 | 2013-09-13 05:14:00 | So just to be clear, you hear the clicking through the speakers also? | DeSade (984) | ||
| 1353506 | 2013-09-13 06:07:00 | Also muting the computer removes the clicking. All I can here is the quite static noise from the GPU. | ChazTheGeek (16619) | ||
| 1353507 | 2013-09-13 07:17:00 | Ok so its not the headphones cause speakers cause the same sound. Its not a computer sound as muting the sound removes it so it is coming from sound generated in the machine and running through the sound drivers. Based on this its almost certainly a driver issue Probably the way the sound driver is working with the sound coding for the individual games rather than a overall issue, might not be something you can fix. I had a similar problem in Diablo2, made the game unplayable and no one could fix it. Since you have tried most driver fixes already, I think you might be SOL. |

| 1353508 | 2013-09-13 07:40:00 | It never used to happen either. | ChazTheGeek (16619) | ||
| 1353509 | 2013-09-13 07:53:00 | Is the head set plugged into the front or rear speaker socket, if its the front try just the rear or visa versa. | wainuitech (129) | ||
