Nvidia MCP51 - ALC883 Audio chip: crackling sound

I got this problem for some time, i hear loud crackling sounds over the sound output when i play mp3s or movies, or any other media file, but i hear without problems the pcspeaker and the microphone works perfecrly, i can clearly hear my voice. This happens also with 1.0.15 (at least on Gentoo) driver but now i'm using 1.0.14 on this new installation of arch (i'm an arch newbie that changed from gentoo), my mainboard is an ASUS P5N-E-SLI with an integrated Realtek ALC883 soundchip, the module that alsa is using is snd-hda-intel, I don't know what autoprobing is doing, but i've tried model=3stack-6ch-dig with the same results.
Also the mixer behaves in a strange way, with no master and a headphone control with no bar but with only the unmute/mute buttons.
I think that archlinux is very good, and i'm trying it because is always at the bleeding edge of updates.
Hope i can finally fix this problem, now i'll try to recompile the kernel and install the latest alsa driver 1.0.15 from source.
Meanwhile if anyone has suggestions is very welcome!
And now some details:

Any help?
I've read a lot this topic, the problem is fixed for the chip on acer notebooks, the model used is model=acer, in the 1.0.15 version the best model for the ALC883 of the ASUS-P5N-E is model=3stack-6ch-dig because is a 3 jack, 6 channel with s/pidf, but for me the problem remains, whit model=acer i totally don't have sound.
It's difficult to say that ALC832/3/8 are supported there are a lot of configurations that may cause problems for now, probably in the next alsa release theese problem will be solved.

Getting crackling sound on any audio on X305-Q701

Any audio that is playing (internet, itunes, rhapsody, video games, etc.) is getting a crackling sound. Anyone else getting this? or have a fix
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try to update the audio driver of the computer.
http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=SB&os=&category=&moid=206002...
Just open that link and download the Realtek Audio Driver for Windows Vista and install it on your computer. Restart the computer after that. Hope this one works. Just tell me if its not so i can give you some other steps.
Thank You.

Pop Crackle Sound at Each Audio Edit Point

Hello!
For the life of me I can't figure this one out.
I am working on a video using Final Cut 4.5. I am using audio that I have separated from the video image. At every AUDIO edit point (beginning or ending) I get a pop or crackle sound.
I have tried cutting out the ends of each segment but that does not help. The popping sound always occurs at the ends of each segment no matter how long or short they are. The audio was captured at 48khz, 16bit and was originally married to the video.
Any ideas?
Thank you!
Ann

This happens everyonce in a while with me. At those points I'll add a 5 or 6 frame audio +3db dissolve. It should clean it right up.

What EXACTLY are the 4 NVIDIA High Definition Audio devices on N570GTX - Win 8.1

Hi guys,
one of my rigs runs an N570GTX on Win 8.1 64bit.
In Device Manager > Sound, Video and Game Controllers, there are 4 "NVIDIA High Definition Audio" listed.
I use 337.88 drivers (NVIDIA Control Panel version 7.7.760.0).
What is the purpose of EACH of these 4 devices:
As a side note, my other rig running an N660GTX on Win 7 64bit only shows 1 "NVIDIA High Definition Audio" in Device Manager > Sound, Video and Game Controllers.

Okay, by examining the devices (enabling, disabling, reading driver data), I can conclusively state that one of the drivers (in my case residing in Location 1) is exclusively tied to the HDMI port on my GPU – when I disable it, my HDMI device (I have only one; shame, because I can't isolate the devices better) stops being listed in Windows Sound Control Panel; when I disable all other devices except that one, my audio over HDMI works fine – this leads me to believe that the other ones are not really essential codecs required for HDMI audio, but are instead related to the individual audio outputs.
In summary, assuming the other two devices (residing, for example, in Location 0 and Location 2) are for audio output on DVI ports (usable via DVI->HDMI adapter/cable), there's still one NVIDIA High Definition Audio device (residing in, say, Location 3), which doesn't seem to be in use in relation to some sort of global codec mechanism (since I can disable it without affecting my HDMI port audio output), that is unaccounted for!
Any idea what other output can the remaining device be linked to, since GTX570 has no S/PDIF pass-through connector on the board itself (to connect it to the motherboard's S/PDIF output)?
Could the remaining device be there only as a legacy stub for S/PDIF connector which was present on the pre GeForce 400 Series cards, since they share the same NVIDIA drivers with the post-Tesla series?
But in that case, why does my GTX660 list only one NVIDIA High Definition Audio device in Win 7 64bit?
Quote from: Nichrome on 02-July-14, 19:33:05
Apart from the sound you can get through HDMI (which would be 1 or 2 of these in management), it provides your board with some "HD Sound Drivers" which takes another 1 or 2 of these.
I have quite few of these too even on my old laptop (with Nvidia card): x4 Nvidia High Definition Audio, x1 Cyberlink WebCam, x1 Realtek HD and x1 Bluetooth sound.
Your specs read that you have a GTX770 running on Win 7 64bit; do you also have four of the Nvidia High Definition Audio devices? Or just one? Thanks!

So, what might be causing the probe error -5?
I really need to get this card working! :S
I have Arch up to date!
Hardware specs:
CPU: AMD FX6100
Board: Gigabyte (can't recall the model) with NVidia chipset
Thank you,

I have an m-audio delta 1010lt as well, it's a great card but it sits in my closet now because I "upgraded" to a motherboard that doesn't have legacy PCI slots. However, I'm pretty sure I remember the card working for me and being "plug and play" under arch with kernel 3.3 or newer. So some things I would consider:
Try checking IRQs, make sure nothing is overlapping.
Try using the LTS kernel, to see if it is kernel related, since ice1712 module should ship with almost any kernel => 2.6.26.
How many watts is the power supply? Sometimes insufficient wattage can result in drivers failing to load.
What other sound cards do you have installed? Have you tried blacklisting all of the other cards in your system using alsa-base.conf? This is a bit extreme, but might be a useful troubleshooting measure, as some people have had issues in the past with alsa indexing mutiple cards to the same slot number

Satellite P100-192: crackling sound coming from speaker when using MSN

Hello, i have just bought this p100-192 laptop. The speakers seem to muffle ( especially whenever there is an incoming message in MSN )
Does anyone know why and a solution to it ????

Hi,
I own a Satellite P100-188 and the sound crackled in windows with driver 3.11.0.0 and BIOS 2.10, after sending the notebook back to Toshiba only for them to install driver version 3.11.0.51 I found that some sounds where not playing at all. I have come to the conclusion that the Conexant sound chip (or hardware) is just rubbish, for instance take the sound volume of the beep tone when hitting caps lock or num lock compared to the general volume, which, at full volume is barely audible!
I myself went back to using version 3.11.0.0 as I would rather have crackling sound than missing sounds. I'm considering purchasing a Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS PCMCIA sound card as I play games a lot on my notebook. If sound is important for you, you may want to consider it too.
An eaiser way to check your BIOS version is to click Start select Run... and enter this line in the dialog box
TInTouch.exe and hit enter.
Then switch to the Protect and Fix tab and left click PC diagnostic tool, it will list all the information on your notebook.
This is how I updated my BIOS, I downloaded the win update file and unzipped it, I then ran the Phoenix Winphlash program and entered a bios backup destination and browsed to the .wph file which was in the folder that the program unzipped to, I then followed the onscreen prompts and that was it, the machine re-booted with the new bios installed.

MacPro Audio Snap-Crackle-Pop (macpro 6-core 3,33GHz)

Hi Everyone,
3 weeks ago i received my brand new 4500$ machine, after working for about 40 minutes there was this really loud POP/Crack trough the speakers, didn't think much of it at first but then after a while same thing happened. It really loud and scared the living daylights out of me...at first i thought it was a problem with my cables or amplifier so i started checking everything, changing cables, unplugging etc. even went this far that i went out and bought new cables but that didn't do me any good. started up my old computer and no Popping sound or weird cracks what so ever, so i took the computer to a friends house and plugged it on this his audio installation (Audio-line out) the same problem occurred after 20min. so without a doubt was it a MacPro issue.
to finally check i even unplugged "every" external device (amplifier,mixer..) and used the internal build in speaker just to check if it had the same issues, and yup same thing with the internal speakers there's this loud Pop also.
Caled Apple explained everything and the offered to ship me a new machine since this one obviously isn't working as it should.
i have received my replacement Mac Pro 2 days ago and guess what, EXACTLY the same problem with this one. One would think that since this one has the same issues its not the Mac Pro but I'm absolutely without a doubt 100% sure it is a the Computer, why because even when nothing is plugged in and i use the internal speakers it still pops, also when i take it (again) at a friends prof. recording studio and test it there ...POP same story.
you can best describe the loud pop i hear with an audio cable that you plug-in or out of a powered amplifier, it gives this loud crack.
The sound studio guy said that he thinks it has to do with the sound chipset waking from sleep or something in that direction
question is are there people here whom know how to fix this (if its even possible to fix) or people whom experienced the same problems?
What do i do now, call Apple again and ask again for a new machine? i mean we are not talking ipods here, its a really expensive machine and it should just work without me getting the living daylights scared out of me 3 times in one hour. I want a computer that works point blank.
Hate to call Apple again, i lost loads of time already and they probably going to suggest the same thing all over again...try installing OSX again, do hardware check...etc. been there and didn't do me any good.
what should i do and does anyone know how to fix this extremely anoying problem
hope to get some reply's as i would really appreciate it

Mac Pro (6-core) 3.33GHz here too, running OS X 10.6.4. Same issue. However mine happens ever so randomly. Sometimes it doesn't happen for a whole 3hours then suddenly, for a split second there's that pop/crackle sound. I used to have the same speakers plugged in a mid-2009 15" MacBook Pro and it never had that problem. To think that i spent over £3000 on a high-end desktop workstation makes me wonder why the **** are they even priced ever so ridiculously?? I mean if it has such a pathetic problem such as this. Quality control isn't what it used to be for Apple it would seem. Glad that I'm not the only person with this problem, and I'm sorry to hear that this has happened to many of u who caved in nearly 2 months salary (I may be on scholarship, but still, money is money) to buy a high-end workstation like this.
My specs are in my sig at the bottom. Did all the necessary updates, except for iTunes (running on 9.2.1) but I dont think iTunes 10 addresses problems like these. Definitely not an iTunes problem because even if there's nothing playing there's still that pop sound. Thing is, mine doesn't happen so frequently, but it does happen on occasion, but for a +£3000 machine, IT'S UNACCEPTABLE!! Get it together Apple! Plus this is not my only Mac Pro issue, got a Kernel Panic the other day because I was tethering my iPhone 3GS 32GB (iOS4.0) via USB to my Mac Pro for internet and the kernel panic grey screen came up. Lesson learned, i wont be USB tethering my iPhone EVER AGAIN, but I'm not going to refrain from using my audio on my Mac Pro, am I right? Anyway, this rant is rather annoying, I sure as **** hope that it's just a software issue and that an update SOON will help resolve this!
Have any of u guys reported this issue to Apple? Because if enough of us who spent copious amount of money on this report the issue, they are FORCED to find a fix. Because I dont wan to have to ring Apple and be on hold for hours before I have someone tell me "ye...just send it back to us". Because: a) I'm not going to post it to them, takes too much **** time. b) Even if i were given a new desktop, I dont want to have to start from scratch, unless they're willing to migrate all my data on to the new desktop and everything will be as my last desktop was. AND c) I know i said this enough, but this is an expensive desktop and issues like this shouldn't even be roaming around...
Please note, my Mac Pro is ONLY 3days old.
I hope again that this is SOFTWARE/FIRMWARE related. and an update should fix this!

Help with Audigy 2 Zs and crackling sound ..

For the past 5 months or so ( not long after I got the product ) I have been getting this periodic issue with the sound ...
I'll start to notice a popping and crackling sound coming from the left channel when loud sounds issue from the game ( multiple games ). After a while I figured ou ttha tI could :
a: Reset all my settings to Default , Then reconfigure my surround
or
b: Reinstall and/or patchthe current driver set ...
Both seem to fix the issue for some time then it all returns within a month or so .... It's a rela pain to have to keep configuring my Audio settings every month.
My system specs are
Asus A7N8X DLX Rev. 02
AMD 3000+
Gig Corsair XMS
BFG 6800GT 256
Audigy 2 ZS
Raptor 74 Gig
and some Altec Landsing Speakers ( I forgot the model number )
Any idea what could be causing this ?
Thanks in advance.

I got the fix for you twellons. Just go in the audio control panel and mute the midi/synth in the panel and you will have the fix. My system specs are close toy yours amd 2800xp, nforce 2 a7n8x dlx ver .04 and a original audigy card. Now creative has to address this issue in new drivers. Also download the demo of contract jack and when you load the game and the game menus comes up, scroll through the options in that menu like new game, load game quickly and you will here that popping noise in only the left speaker. and when you do that fix that i mentioned above, no more popping . So try that out and please get back to me and tell me if it worked or not. That issue was tough to figure out.
P.S. You owe me

I ran through a google search to find the solutions. But it seems none of them works. Someone suggests to disable the audio device enhancement. but mine has been disabled already. Someone suggestes to upgrade the driver, but mine is up to day. Anyone has met a similar problem?
My OS is window7 professional sp1
My audio device is IDT HD audio codec

Same problem w/ audiodg.exe /uses 100% of one core on my quad core and no diabling sound enchancements DOES NOT WORK
Same problems w/ crackling sound
system:
pavailon p7-1126s
windows 7 64 bit
If there is a soulution to this, A REAL SOULTION other than install a new sound card, someone, anyone please: post, msg me, email me or do all 3

USB Audio Input Crackles

Hi,
I've had an ION USB turntable for some time and whilst it has worked in the past when I try and use it now applications pick up a distorted, crackling sound instead of the actual music. It definitely isn't a problem with the turntable setup because the RCA cables reproduce the sound perfectly but any applications in OSX that try and capture or play through the audio just reproduce a clipped, distorted version of the song that is practically unrecognizable.
Any ideas on what might cause such a problem?

Hi BlackPlastic-
The USB and RCA outputs of that turntable are produced via different electronics. The data fed over USB is the analog part, available on the RCA jacks, digitized and sent out over USB.
My guess is that if everything else is working correctly, there is probably a problem with the A to D converter in the turntable itself.
Are you connected to a USB port directly on the Mac?
Luck-

Crackling sound after updating to Itunes 10.2.1 on Windows 7 Laptop

I recently upgraded to Itunes 10.2.1 on my laptop. Ever since this update, I have been getting a crackling sound whenever I play audio or video.
I know its not my Bose Companion 5s because I don't get this problem with VLC player or Windows Media Player. Its really annoying because I can't play Itunes movies or shows on those players and have to sit through the crackling sound.
Anyone else have this problem? Anyone got any solutions for this? Thank you for your help.

DO you by any chance have Norton?
I have seen one report that was associated with an unspecified Norton product. If so it might be worth briefly disabling it to see if that makes a difference.
Also I have seen one report of skipping rather than crackling associated with continuous backup.

L305-S5968 Distorted/crackling sound

I am having a BAD distortion/crackling sound problem with my L305-S5968. It occurs whether or not headphones/speakers are plugged in.
I have looked on the support page for the laptop and there was a bulletin from a couple years ago stating it was caused by the Atheros WiFi drivers....however I don't have Atheros drivers, and that bulletin was from before the laptop was even purchased.
The laptop has Realtek HD audio and Realtek WiFi and I have the most recent drivers (that I can fine at least).....PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Hi, look at my post. I know that by reinstalling Windows 7, you'll speakers will work fine again. Don't know any other way. Sorry, but that's what you need to do.

Crackling sound from iTunes (iMac/10.7)

I've seen some reports of crackling with audio in iTunes from Windows users. I've noticed in the last few months (pre Lion and post Lion) that my iTunes occasionally but not always has a crackling sound with the music being played. This doesn't happen with other apps (Spotify/EyeTV). I can hear the crackling, play a different app with no crackling (same song on Spotify shows no issues) but iTunes persists.
Anyone else?

I've noticed over the last two months the same thing. I've been using iTunes for many many years and never had a problem. I am running Mac OS 10.7.2 on a 2010 27inch iMac and have ripped all my CDs which there are over 10000 songs in different bit rates. 256/320 and Apple Lossless. I only appear to have the crackling at 320 bit rate which is odd and its not every CD. I have tried re-ripping but the same issue persists. What rate are yours at?
