Hello! Welcome to TechSpot!

Hissing Popping Clicking, sounds like my X :haha:

Need to know more about your system:
MoBo
cpu
psu
etc.
In the mean time.
Being this is a pci sound card, what pci slot do you put it in?
I recommend the one furthest from agp or bottom one.
You can also take a pencil eraser to the contacts on the sound card, lightly
rub or polish the gold contacts that slip into the pci slot. Be sure not to
get any eraser dust in the case or on the MoBo. Use some commpressed
air to blow out the slots on the MoBo. Re-assemble

you'll need to get a copy of Everest
What browser do you use?

 

[jaxom]

Ok

internet explorer and/or verizon yahoo browser

 

[SOcRatEs]

Try FireFox
Much safer too. I don't know if this will solve the sound problems but it's a good step in the right direction.

loose audio cable?

unshielded cables?

loose audio cable?

unshielded cables?

the sound card is a soundblaster audigy 4

I am wondering about the shielding now too, being this is more a media center sound card. Or if the IR or remote control may have RF interference. Possibly power outlet/surge protector interference.
Have you checked into & installed the latest drivers?
