Hi guys, about a month ago I started getting constant sound crackling when playing music or games, while playing music if I say, scrolled the mouse wheel up and down the music would even slow down to the point it sounded like it was being played in slow mo. Games on top of this were extremely laggy. I disabled my onboard sound and installed a PCI sound card, still the same problem. I used driver cleaner etc and uninstalled and reinstalled many different graphics card drivers but to no avail. I recently tried an old PCI-Express graphics card and the sound seemed to be fixed for a few days but then it came back. I've reformatted the PC a couple of times and installed Windows 7 also. Has anyone got any idea what the problem may be?
It obviously wasn't my graphics card or onboard sound considering I tried different sound and graphics cards. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
It's not a hardware problem. It's a driver problem. Works fine in WIndows XP and Vista. I also have a Dimension 9200 (XPS 410) and have been plagued by this issue since installing Win7 x64 RTM a few months ago. I tried everything I could think of, and scoured the web for solutions to no avail.
Tried several drivers, and also tried disabling various combinations of advanced audio features per 'solutions' found online. I was using the default audio driver Windows uses at first. When I installed the newest Vista x64 driver available on the Dimension 9200 support page ('6.10.0.5511') the problem went away. A week or so later it came back. Eventually I searched on the version string for the above-mentioned Vista x64 drivers ('6.10.0.5511') and came across this page: It looks like Dell uses the same chipset on a large number of systems but doesn't always advertise the full list of systems to which a driver applies.

In the case of the newest version available that's listed on the Ed Bott page above (' 6.10.0.5866 '), it only lists Optiplex 740. It's actually compatible with a wider range that Ed lists, but the Dimension 9200 / XPS 410 isn't even in THAT list. However, the driver installed without a hitch (it IS indeed for the chip contained in the 9200 / 410), and the audio crackling/popping issue went away (so far permanantly). I believe this driver also works with the XPS 420. I find it absolutely appalling that Dell has not released (and appears to have no intention of doing so) a set of Windows 7 drivers for these Dimension & XPS machines, leaving their users (even sophisticated ones) to scrounge around in frustration trying to find a fix. In fact, Dell only lists a single (!!!!!!) desktop Dimension model (the 2010) as being 'compatible' with Windows 7 (see this page: ).
And only four XPS models. Even though all of these systems run Windows 7 beautifully (once you manage to find the the right drivers that Dell disguises so well). Shame on you Dell!!!!!!!!!! Anyway, the 6.10.0.5866 drivers should solve your problem.
See the Ed Bott link above, or go here. That Dell list, as I have been told, is ONLY the ones that qualify for the Free upgrade if purchased during the free upgrade period.

It is not a complete list of systems that are Windows 7 compatible. However, some models may never get Windows 7 specific drivers (usually the Vista drivers work and there is no need for Windows 7 drivers). I have an 'older' Dimension E510 that is not listed but it will support Windows 7, 32 bit if I wanted to install that. Also, with 'older' systems, keep in mind that Dell is in the business of selling new computers.
Although they will support some older models they shoot themselves in the foot by supporting 'discontinued' models. I have a recent Acer laptop that came with Vista and there are no Windows 7 drivers (or applications) on the Acer website for this model. I upgraded the laptop to Win 7 Home Premium (the Vista drivers all worked) and the Acer 'e net management' program to manage wireless connections is not Windows 7 compatible and there is no Acer update and I had to uninstall the program. I'm not sure if it'll help you, but i used to have similar problems on my 9200. I updated to some drivers released by microsoft for windows 7 and all my problems ended. They were updated sigmatel drivers. The one I used is dated 2009/04/21 version 6.1.7100.0 Here is the drivers I used or just go to this website (NOT A FAKE) and pick the ones you see fit.
Let me know if this helps.
I have had my Acer Swift 3 (running Windows 10) for about 6 weeks now. Two days ago, I was using a website with audio playback (my laptop was running for about 4 hours at this point), and the audio playback from the speakers began crackling/reverb. It continued for approximately 30-45 minutes before fixing itself.
I tested other websites, I also tested audio within Windows 10 (external of the browser), and the problem seems to be global to the device itself (or maybe an issue with the audio driver, which I checked and it is currently running the latest audio driver). This has happened at least 2 or 3 times now. One of those times, I restarted the computer, and that seemed to have fixed the problem. I recorded two videos to document the problem:. Video #1:. Video #2.
You can try to fix it with updating the BIOS. If doesn't help reset the battery. Here is shown how: //us.answers.acer.com/app/answers/detail/aid/34843//acer-internal-battery-reset If neither of those work, then the problem most likely is with the hardware. You can check if there is any dust or something that can cause distortion with the speakers. You can use a vacuum cleaner to suck the dust out. If nothing works then you should contact Acer support.
The bios is already version 1.06, which is the latest available. Resetting the battery is not necessary, because when I restart the computer, it already fixes the problem.
But while the computer is running, I cannot fix it without closing all the work I'm doing and restarting. It's definitely not a physical issue, it's a brand new laptop, and the problem fixes itself upon restart. I think the issue may be related to using Multiple Desktops in Windows, because I was using the laptop in single desktop mode for a few days and didn't see the issue.
And then today I am using Multiple Desktops again, and the issue appears right away again. Might be something to do with high CPU usage related to this feature.
