    My system is very slow and sluggish & my sound is now really crackly


    In the past week my system is slowing and is now sluggish with delays in text appearing after I type words. I was thinking of doing a repair or reset at the weekend to try to improve the situation. Last night the sound started crackling and now I can't follow the dialogue properly. I troubleshot the audio and no problems were detected.Any ideas what I should do next?I'm using an Acer Aspire 5 laptop with Windows 11 installedThe cursor is jumping around, making it hard to write this.

    :)

    Crackly sound.

    Something getting hot possibly.
    Odd it takes time before it start to get crackly which makes me think of something in your system getting hot.

    There were only two time I have had this kind of issue.

    1:-Using a Creative sound card
    2:-With an old motherboard which I decided I would try out the auto OC features on.
    When the NB voltage was too high it would crackle.

    Crackly sound.

    btw, the Soundcard itself is not crackly...just the Audio.

    Crackly sound.

    Yesterday my Audio started distorting randomly and has been doing it ever since (Happens when I watch Videos, listen to music, Gameing), It sound sort of crackly like an old record..it started getting distorted after having my computer one for 30 minutes to an hour.

    Was wondering if anyone knew what this could be due to?
    It is not my headphones because I have tried a coupe and it’s the same issue with the front and back ports.
