Stutter/Static-y sound

[don0223]

Hi, I have been major problems with my speakers and sound card. I have razer barracuda AC-1 Sound Card and logitech z-5500 speakers. Ok here is the problem:

When I play music:
- it always starts out with a stutter and has random stutters throughout the song
- when no music is playing there is a slight static from the speakers

When I play games like CS:
- after a while of playing like 30 minutes... static kicks in and IT IS ANNOYING (like constant static playing along the game noises)

I have all the latest drivers, disable onboard sound... I don't know what else to do
I contact razer and they told me to test the sound card on another computer but I don't have another computer to do that

Other info:
I tried the onboard sound and it stutters also
sometimes when i switch s/pdif input on the razer control panel sound comes out from the wrong speakers

(my guess is its razers stupid drivers and sound card but im stupid too so i really dont know)

My system:
Intel q6600
2 gb Corsair Ram
Cooler Master Extreme 600W PSU
Abit Ip35 Pro Mobo
EVGA 8800 GT


Don't know what else info you need BUT PLEASE HELP... thanks! :darth:

That's funny, made me laugh

Anyway, I think it's the speakers themselves, probably been put up too high by the kids !
Anyway, try to borrow someones speakers, or use headphones to test (headphones; speakers whichever)

Well that really points to hardware fault (overheating probably)

I'd suggest opening the side cover (hardware experience and manual required)
And blow out all the dust/debri (power out)

You may also want to recheck your cooling airflow

Usually 1 fan sucks in (say from the front) and another fan blows out (say from the back) The CPU fan sucks in, and case fans shouldn't blow directly on it.
