  1. Windows 2004 audio issues. Sound is crackling and distorted all over the place


    Hello,

    I need some help.

    I just finished a clean install of 2004 and after I was done with everything, I wanted to listen to some music just to find out that my sound is completely broken on 2004.
    Everythings is crackling / distorted and it litterally hurts my ears. I'm using an external DAC and headphone amp. It happens with and w/o driver (Schiit Modi 2)

    Now my question is: Is anyone experience the same issues? Does anyone have any advice for me other than reverting back to 1909. Onboard audio is fine (realtek) but obviously I don't want to use that and it isn't a solution at all, when I have a dedicated AMP.

    I uploaded 2 samples so you could hear the issues yourself.

    Any help greatly appreciated!

    Video distortion, sound crackling

    Hi all !

    Finally built my dream PC. Overall the experience has been bittersweet, as youtube videos are very distorted when I use google chrome (but works fine on edge), sometimes a white line would appear in a window then disappear, and sound is sometimes crackling horribly (but goes away when I restart the application).

    Here is my build
    System Builder

    Would anyone know where those issues are coming from ?
    Thanks in advance !

    Distorted Sound

    Hi Zaki,

    Distorted sound can be be produces if there is an issue with the hardware or software. Please answer the following questions for us to narrow down this concern:

    • Is it affecting all music, videos, and online videos?
    • Which sound card is set to default? Realtek High Definition Audio or High Definition Audio Device? You will know it by typing
      "sound" on the search box and select Sound, under Playback, the default speaker should have a check.

    Please run Playing Audio Troubleshooter by following these steps:

    • Type "troubleshooting" on the search box.
    • Select Troubleshooting on the result.
    • Click View all.
    • Choose Playing Audio and follow the steps.

    Looking forward to your reply.

    Windows 2004 audio issues. Sound is crackling and distorted all over the place

    sound distorted after windows 10 anniversary upgrade

    This is where I'm at on my HP laptop with Windows 10 and the Anniversary update.

    I completed step #3 "hardware and sound" but that took me to an option for "sound, speakers." There was no "properties" as step #4 suggests. I selected "sound, speakers" and then found "properties." After selecting "properties" there was no "enhancements
    tab" as step #5 suggests.

    Regardless, I then uninstalled the realtek audio driver. I noticed that when I did this without restarting my laptop that the sound was now tinny, but not distorted as it was previously. After restarting, the sound was again full, yet distorted.

    Realtek still shows in my programs list, though it shows no memory is used.

    Thanks for your continued help.
