sapiens74 0 Posted November 15, 2003 PLease give us more details, like the sound card, and motherboard you are using Typcially make sure you have the newest drivers for both installed, and bios as well Share this post Link to post
Tomay 0 Posted November 15, 2003 Latest drivers (both sound and chipset), latest bios + Sometimes disabling (muting) sound inputs and outputs improves the sound. Try to mute everything you don't use (cd, mic ...) + Also disable your Joystick in the bios. But best of all, get a creative sound card, or any other sound-card. (almost anything is better than te onboard sound) Share this post Link to post
shassouneh 0 Posted December 16, 2003 I know the cause of this. I had the very same problem. The issue is related to your VIA chipset. According to Soyo (my motherboard manufacturer), you need to install the VIA drivers (NOT the ones that come with XP by default), and it should work fine.
