Sound Card Hissing/Crackling All The Sudden (Xtreme Gamer)

Hi All,
I found these forums after doing some searching and not being able to remedy my problem.
I have a computer with an ASUS mobo with the X-Fi Xtreme Gamer card. This combo has been working perfectly for me for over a year. I use windows vista. All the sudden the other day my sound is horrible. The music is buried under hissing and crackling and popping. ? I recently switched recievers so I thought the new one may have an issue with the computer. This was not the case though as the card now isn't working properly with my old reciever as well.
I tried uninstalling the driver, moving the card to a different PCI slot and installing that 2.0 pack. Nothing has worked. ?
The only thing that seems to be ok is when using headphones. This seems very strange as they are going into the exact same jack that my reciever has always been using.
I'm hoping and praying that someone out there may have some advice about what I could try to help my situation. I really don't have the money to get a new card right now and feel like this shouldn't be happening as I have only owned it a little over a year and it has always worked with my configuration.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this!

Hope this help,

?These drivers are meant to solve crackling and pops and do work with NON Titanium cards. I tested this with a PCI-regular Fatality Pro.

    So basically if a iphone has a fault after the 1 year warranty period is over, there is nothing the consumer can do but purchase a new phone??
    Pretty much. Except that Apple will replace it for a fixed fee that is far less than the cost of a new phone. In the US the replacement cost for an iPhone 4 is $149. It is comparable in the UK. Unless you can prove that the fault was present at the time of purchase. A switch wearing out would probably be considered normal wear and tear, not a "fault".

  • My Facetime has always worked and now all the sudden when I try to log on from my Macbook it says the server has encountered an error with the server registration. This will not allow me to sign in. Anyone know how to fix this?

    My Facetime will not work on my Macbook Pro. This has always worked in the past and now all the sudden it says that I have encountered a problem with the server and registration. I tried to check the date and time zone which is correct and I have no restrictions set.

    I have the same issue. Does anybody know why this has happened

    Start with the "Shuffle not recognized" section in this Apple support document.

  • All the sudden I can't get text form my daughters phone (I phone) she can get mine. Her phone no longer shows as an iPhone when I text her.

    I all the sudden can't get text form my daughter. She can get mine . When I text her it no longer comes up in blue like iPhone to iPhone does.

    I just had this issue today with a company phone and it was fixed by a reset: Hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.

    Delete the music in your iTunes library, then go to iTunes store, Quick Link, 'Purchased' to redownload again.

  • The sound effects volume is all the way down. It pops on for a second, then disappears. I can't find it in settings.   How do I get the sound back?

    The sound effects volume is all the way down.  It pops up for a second once in awhile and then disappears. I can't find it in the Setting.  Music sound plays fine, but no sound on my apps.  Any idea how to fix it?

    If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • Firefox, all the sudden, will now load the site but will not let me go to a chat area in the website, what has happened?

    I have a site that i am on all the time and have never had a problem at all using it, but the other day all the sudden i could log into the site but when i go to use the chat room feature in the site i get kicked back out to the sign in area. I have used on other comp to make sure not site and have been able use w Internet Explorer... So i am at a loss as to what has happened all the sudden. Please help me...very frustrated w this... Jared

    Original problem I noticed was that regular websites I go to (such as msn) were only partially downloading.  I could see the text on the site but no pictures or videos.  All web surfing was extremely slow.  When I would go to a site such as man I would see another address in the lower left corner for "ads1.msads.net" or "cdn.optimizely.com" that is was trying to connect to. I tried using all three of my browsers (firefox, safari, chrome) and got the same response on all browsers.  After I spent some time researching the issue I decided I probably had a adware/malware problem so I decided to try adwaremedic.com.  I could also not access that site along with thesafemac.com or apple.com.  I was also getting the same response on my other devices (iPhone, iPad, and a mac air).  I could not access any of these sites on any of my devices although I could get to almost any other site although it was very slow.  At that point I decided to unplug the router.  I also did a number of other things before then to try and manually get rid of any adware.  Eventually I got msn back working, apple.com, and the speed was much faster.  But, I still can not access adwaremedic and thesafemac.com.  I could access these on my phone with 3G but not on my wifi.  This is where the problem still stands.  I am sure I still have some adware on my computer and need to find a way to remove it.  I am no techie so the complicated manual fixes are difficult for me to do.

  • I just downloaded an album from a gift card, and not all the songs were downloaded..how do i finish downloading the album without purchasing it again?

    I just downloaded the T-Pain rEVOLVEr Album from a gift card, but not all the songs were downloaded to my library. Is there a way to finish downloading the remaining songs without purchasing the entire album?

    Hey Astrozilla,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    I understand you are having issues with a couple of songs you recently purchased. It may be that these songs did not download fully, or correctly. The best troubleshooting step may be to delete the songs from your library, and re-download using iTunes in the Cloud (if available in your country).
    For more information, see the following:
    Songs in iTunes may not play back completely
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4357
    Symptoms
    Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.
    Resolution
    If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
    1. Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
    2. Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
    3. Download your previously purchased song from this list.
    Note: iTunes in the Cloud, which allows you to download previously purchased songs from the iTunes Store, is not available in every country. Learn if iTunes in the Cloud is offered in your country.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Why are some web sites that i have been using for years now all the sudden changing themselves from Standards compliance mode to Quirks mode? How do I change them back to Standards compliance mode?

    Like I will be checking on an account { page is fine} go to a different screen then go back.... This is the fun part. The page starts off normal then all the sudden it shrinks and moves to the right side of the page with out me touching anything. I have had this happen to me a few different times and could not seem to get the help I needed. I bring up another page, look at page info and it says Rendering mode - Standards compliance mode, but on the messed up page it says Quirks mode. How do I get it back to Standards compliance mode?

    Good day ... As I leave California I am still very puzzled at how Yahoo can hijack my pages while on the internet ...? A friend of mine who lives here is also puzzled at how this is happening. I have taken screen grabs and would video it if that is possible ...? The screen grabs have the time taken on each grab, so one can see how fast this happens .. in a matter of seconds Yahoo jumps in with no relevance to my link I was trying to get to or the last hit or any thing stored in my history ... Is this possible ..? As I said I use a Macbook Pro 17", Os X 10.9.5, firefox 33.0.0 ..... Where is the fault ... Is my system compromised ..?
    I am now in South Africa and the problem still exists ... Please see screen grabs that I took and uploaded before ... Please help as I like Firefox over Safari, and do not wish to change ....

  • ITunes 11 custom color changes all the sudden (album)

    Because I use iTunes 11 between 2 PCs, I've noticed this slight issue since, where one particular album on 1 PC gives a slightly different palette of colors than the other.
    All the sudden today, my Kelly Clarkson Greatest Hits: Chapter 1 Deluxe album decided to change colors. It went from this.... :
    To this:
    That said, what makes iTunes decide the color changes? By the way I did not change the album art at all to cause this. Both files are their exact same copies from their respective PCs.
    The last thing I did with my PC was using a software called "calibrize" to calibrate my PC monitor. Did that have something to do with it? Anyone else who have this similar situation?

    Found another thread in Discussions- Closing down then re-opening Itunes solves the problem.
    Worked for me.

  • Windows doesn't recognize WD Elements all the sudden but Ubuntu does

    Hey guys A couple of months ago I bought a WD Elements HDD and everything worked fine up till a few weeks ago. All the sudden the drive became unreadable. It does show in "My Computer", but not with the name I gave it. It has the name "Local Disk (I)" and nothing more. And what's even worse, when I doubleclick it, my explorer crashes. The same goes for device management. The drive is basicly unreachable. Some crucial information though. From the moment I bought the HDD I intended to split it in two partitions. One partition (250 GB) has been formatted to a EXT4 file system so I could install Ubuntu on it and another one was formatted to a FAT32 (250 GB) file system so I could use that space for both Windows and Linux. For like 2 months that worked perfectly so I do not believe it has anything to do with the split-up. However, what I do think is strange is that I can boot to Ubuntu without any problems and even acces my files on my FAT32 file system. I do not use Linux often and I do not want to keep porting files to my USB stick just because the HDD is not being recognized by Windows. It really gets ennoying and I'd like to solve this. Thanks in advanceRuben Labruyere

    Welcome to the Community.
    It's possible for Windows to have a file system conflict. How is the hard drive detected within Windows Disk Management?
