Flash players crack and pop when watching

[infestedchris]

Hello. I am having a issue. When watching videos on youtube or google video or any video flash player. The audio will start to crack and pop. Little at first then gets worst and worst. It gets even more worst when you change the resolution high. Here is the weird thing. The crack and pops are gone when you maximize the video to full screen. This sometimes happens in Windows Media Player as well. Sometimes when editing in Sony Vegas Pro 11. I will get random popping noises. And audio will not be playing.

This happens on 3 different headsets that I use. 2 of which are 3.5m jack plugs and another pair is USB. The USB headset uses it's own audio drives. It's my steelseries headset.

I have a Realtek HD Audio sound device that is part of the motherboard. It is up to date.
I have tried using Firefox, google chrome, internet explorer, all three didn't work.

All my drives are up to date.

Anyone know what I should do? Is it a codec problem?

Try to re-install the flash.

Can u try the headphones in another PC?

Is it a new install?

 

[nikorr]

Can u re-install the audio driver. Could be also the video driver.

Did u do any hardware changes or software updates?

This happen when I switched Motherboards. I have not uninstalled anything and reinstalled anything. The headphones work with other PC's.

What should I do first?

What should I reinstall?

 

[nikorr]

OK, do u have a reason for not doing a clean install?

It will limit the performance to some degree.

So I know it is not a video problem since I have the latest version of Nvidia. I know it is not a CPU issue since it only goes up to 20% max when watching youtube and other videos.

Either it is a codec issue or audio drivers?

 

[infestedchris]

I have not uninstalled or reinstalled anything because I don't want to uninstall the wrong thing and not have a way to get the install back on my computer

 

[nikorr]

Whats your mobo? How much of the RAM do u have?

 

[infestedchris]

I have a Sabertooth 990FX with 8GB of DDR3 RAM

U have switched for the same mobo?

 

[infestedchris]

No I was using a Asus M3A78-CM I think that is it. To the new Asus Sabertooth 990FX

 

[nikorr]

And u have a x64bit windows, right?

 

[nikorr]

If yes, go to ASUS page to get your updates @ http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_AM3Plus/SABERTOOTH_990FX/#download

 

[infestedchris]

yes 64bit ultimate

 

[infestedchris]

ok I am downloading the zip file for my Audio drivers.

 

[nikorr]

It is not recommended to just swap the mobo and be done with it : )

Especially when dropping almost $200 in it.

 

[infestedchris]

Should I uninstall my audio driver before unzipping and installing?

 

[nikorr]

ok I am downloading the zip file for my Audio drivers.

OK, but uninstall the old one and restart, and than install.

Ahead of me there : )

Did u get it fixed?

 

[infestedchris]

Ok I have a steelseries headset. Should I uninstall the software for that as well before I start?

 

[nikorr]

I would do that.

 

[infestedchris]

ok Should take me 2 seconds. So the folder I unzipped is on my desktop. I opened it and there are files like
Driver
hotfix
nohotfix
AsusSetup

Do I just click set up then leave that folder some where? Where do I stick this folder?

 

[nikorr]

Yes.
