1148238 2010-10-28 01:08:00 Hi All,
My brother in-law has a Gigabyte GA-890GPA-UD3H motherboard with a Creative Titanium PCI-e sound card installed. He advised me that the audio sometimes crackles and skips. I've listened to it. It's not obvious but there certainly is an issue. I've advised him to update the drivers for the sound card. Fault still exists. I was going to relocate the sound card to another PCI-e x1 slot but the other PCI-e x1 slot is swamped by his PCI-e graphics card. I disabled the creative Titanium sound card in the device manager and enabled the on-board audio in the BIOS. The audio issue is still there.... :illogical

Is there some interference happening in the system somewhere?
He's running Win 7 64bit.

1148239 2010-10-28 01:59:00 Is it the speakers or cable rather than the sound device making the crackle? SolMiester (139)
1148240 2010-10-28 02:40:00 Sorry, forgot to put that in the previous post. Tried a set of headphones and it still does it.....
I might remove the graphics card, PCI-e sound card & optical drive and test again....

I should have checked Gigabyte's website myself....
Will check the version of his BIOS this weekend.
