This happened after two big updates from Windows 8 and another from McAfee. I read on forums that it might be the cause but no one gave a solution that worked for now. I tried a few tricks given on forums: not working.
Using an Acer Aspire 53316G75M, made for gaming ( or so they said ) I don't play games I just watch videos, movies, and play music so I supposed it would go easy on the machine. Apparently not.
Restarting takes the problem away for a while then the crackling and distortion comes again after a couple of hours or less, it depends: it's never the same except it happens every time whatever I do. I understand that it's not easy to find the source of the problem... but it's a pain. I noticed on forums that a lot of people have that same problem. Anyone has any idea on how to fix this?
